70.El
71.Pp
72These controllers support RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, RAID 6, RAID 10, RAID 50 and
73RAID 60 using either SAS or SATA II drives.
74.Pp
75Although the controllers are actual RAID controllers,
76the driver makes them look just like SCSI controllers.
77All RAID configuration is done through the controllers' BIOSes.
78.Pp
79.Nm
80supports monitoring of the logical disks in the controller through the
81.Xr bioctl 8
82and
83.Xr envstat 8
84commands.
85.Sh EVENTS
86The
87.Nm
88driver is able to send events to
89.Xr powerd 8
90if a logical drive in the controller is not online.
91The
92.Em state-changed
93event will be sent to the
94.Pa /etc/powerd/scripts/sensor_drive
95script when such condition happens.
