30.Sh NAME
31.Nm hptrr
32.Nd "HighPoint RocketRAID device driver"
33.Sh SYNOPSIS
34To compile this driver into the kernel,
35place the following line in your
36kernel configuration file:
37.Bd -ragged -offset indent
38.Cd "device hptrr"
39.Cd "device scbus"
40.Cd "device da"
41.Ed
42.Pp
43Alternatively, to load the driver as a
44module at boot time, place the following line in
45.Xr loader.conf 5 :
46.Bd -literal -offset indent
47hptrr_load="YES"
48.Ed
49.Sh DESCRIPTION
50The
51.Nm
52driver provides support for HighPoint's RocketRAID based RAID controllers.
53.Pp
54These devices support SATA/ATA disk drives
55and provide RAID0 (striping), RAID1 (mirroring), and RAID5 functionality.
56.Sh LOADER TUNABLES
57The following tunables are settable from the loader:
58.Bl -tag -width indent
59.It Va hw.hptrr.attach_generic
60Set to 1 to permit the driver to attach to chips with generic Marvell
61(non-HighPoint) PCI identification.
62These chips are also supported by
63.Xr nata 4 .
64.\"and
65.\".Xr mvs 4 .
66Some vendors are using these chips without providing a RAID BIOS.
67.El

96.Sh NOTES
97The
98.Nm
99driver only works on the x86_64 platform as it requires a
100blob from the manufacturer which they only supply for these platforms.
101.Pp
102This driver does not support the RR182x series controller.
103See the
104.Xr hptmv 4
105manual page for details on support.

114.Sh HISTORY
115The
116.Nm
117device driver first appeared in

119.Sh AUTHORS
120.An -nosplit
121The
122.Nm
123device driver was written by
124.An HighPoint Technologies, Inc. ,
125and ported to
126.Fx
127by

131.Sh BUGS
132The
133.Nm
134driver does not support manipulating the RAID from the OS, RAIDs need
135to be set up from the on-board BIOS.
