89.El
90.Pp
91These controllers support RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, JBOD,
92and superpositions of those configurations.
93.Pp
94Some cards support both I2O and a so-called
95.Sq Mass Storage
96mode of operation.
97This driver only supports the
98.Sq Mass Storage
99mode; I2O mode is supported
100by the
101.Xr iop 4
102driver.
103However it is recommended to use these cards in
104.Sq Mass Storage
105mode.
106.Pp
107Although the controllers are actual RAID controllers,
108the driver makes them look just like SCSI controllers.
109All RAID configuration is done through the controllers' BIOSes.
110.Pp
111The management interface is provided through the
112.Xr bio 4
113device or one of the daughter
114.Xr sd 4
115devices as implemented in the
116.Xr bioctl 8
117utility.
118Logical disk status is exposed under the
119.Va hw.sensors
120.Xr sysctl 8
121and can be monitored using
122.Xr sensorsd 8 .
123For example:
124.Bd -literal -offset indent
125$ sysctl hw.sensors.ami0
126hw.sensors.ami0.drive0=online (sd0), OK
127hw.sensors.ami0.drive1=degraded (sd1), WARNING
128hw.sensors.ami0.drive2=failed (sd2), CRITICAL
