.Dd $Mdocdate: February 18 2022 $ .Dt IPS 4 .Os .Sh NAME .Nm ips .Nd IBM SATA/SCSI ServeRAID controller .Sh SYNOPSIS .Cd "ips* at pci?" .Sh DESCRIPTION The .Nm driver provides support for IBM ServeRAID controllers, including:
p l -bullet -width Ds -offset indent -compact t ServeRAID 3H/3HB/3L t ServeRAID 4H/4L/4Lx/4M/4Mx t ServeRAID 5i/5i II t ServeRAID 6i/6M t ServeRAID 7k/7M/7t .El
p Although the controllers are actual RAID controllers, the driver makes them look just like SCSI controllers. All RAID configuration is done through the bootable IBM ServeRAID Support CD; a CD image is freely available at the IBM website.
p RAID management is done through the .Xr bio 4 device with the .Xr bioctl 8 command. Logical disk status is exposed under the .Va hw.sensors .Xr sysctl 8 and can be monitored using .Xr sensorsd 8 . .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr bio 4 , .Xr intro 4 , .Xr pci 4 , .Xr scsi 4 , .Xr sd 4 , .Xr bioctl 8 , .Xr sensorsd 8 , .Xr sysctl 8
p .Lk https://www.ibm.com .Sh HISTORY The .Nm driver first appeared in .Ox 4.1 . .Sh AUTHORS .An -nosplit The .Nm driver was written by .An Alexander Yurchenko Aq Mt grange@openbsd.org . .Sh CAVEATS Due to .Xr bioctl 8 limitations the .Nm driver associates all unused and hot spare drives with the first volume but the drives can be used for rebuilding any degraded volume.
