21.Sh NAME
22.Nm mpii
23.Nd LSI Logic Fusion-MPT Message Passing Interface II
24.Sh SYNOPSIS
25.Cd "mpii* at pci?"
26.Sh DESCRIPTION
27The
28.Nm
29driver provides support for storage controllers using the
30LSI Logic Fusion-MPT Message Passing Interface II
31family of chipsets:
32.Pp
33.Bl -dash -offset indent -compact
34.It
35LSISAS2004,
36LSISAS2008,
37LSISAS2108,
38LSISAS2208,
39LSISAS2308,
40LSISAS3004,
41LSISAS3008,
42LSISAS3108,
43LSISAS3408,
44LSISAS3416,
45LSISAS3508,
46LSISAS3516
47.El
48.Pp
49These chipsets can be found on the following controllers:
50.Pp
51.Bl -dash -offset indent -compact
52.It
53Dell PERC H200, HBA330, 12Gbps SAS HBA
54.It
55IBM ServeRAID H1110
56.It
57Lenovo N2215, ThinkSystem 430
58.It
59LSI SAS 9200-8e, SAS 9207-8i, SAS 9211-4i, SAS 9211-8i
60.It
61Broadcom SAS 9300, HBA 9400
62.El
63.Pp
64Some models of these controllers carry an Integrated RAID (IR) firmware
65providing support for RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID10 or RAID5 using SAS or SATA
66drives.
67All RAID configuration is done through the controllers' BIOSes.

76.Sh HISTORY
77The
78.Nm
79driver first appeared in
80.Ox 4.7 .
81.Sh AUTHORS
82.An -nosplit
83The
84.Nm
85driver was written by
86.An James Giannoules
87and
88.An Mike Belopuhov .
89.Sh BUGS
90The chips supported by
91.Nm
92do not use a SCSI-like identifier.
93Instead they use an opaque ID and leave discovery order up to the operating
94system.
95The code to handle this is currently not implemented and therefore it is not a
96good idea to run this driver on a multi-boot machine.
