31.Sh NAME
32.Nm mly
33.Nd Mylex AcceleRAID/eXtremeRAID family driver
34.Sh SYNOPSIS
35.Cd device pci
36.Cd device mly
37.Cd device scbus
38.Cd device da
39.Sh DESCRIPTION
40The
41.Nm
42driver provides support for Mylex AcceleRAID and eXtremeRAID-family
43PCI to SCSI RAID controllers with version 6.00 and later
44firmware.
45Supported controllers include:
46.Bl -bullet
47.It
48AcceleRAID 160
49.It
50AcceleRAID 170
51.It
52AcceleRAID 352
53.It
54eXtremeRAID 2000
55.It
56eXtremeRAID 3000
57.El
58.Pp
59Compatible Mylex controllers not listed should work, but have not been
60verified.
61.Pp
62Logical devices (array drives) attached to the controller are presented
63to the SCSI subsystem as though they were direct-access devices on a
64virtual SCSI bus.
65Physical devices which are not claimed by a logical
66device are presented on SCSI channels which match the physical channels
67on the controller.
68.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
69.Ss Controller initialisation phase
70.Bl -diag
71.It "mly%d: controller initialisation started"
72.It "mly%d: initialisation complete"
73.Pp
74The controller firmware has started initialisation.
75Normally this process is performed by the controller BIOS,
76but the driver may need
77to do this in cases where the BIOS has failed, or is not compatible
78(e.g. on non-x86 systems).
79.It "mly%d: drive spinup in progress"
80.Pp
81Drive startup is in progress; this may take several minutes.
82.It "mly%d: mirror race recovery failed, one or more drives offline"
83.It "mly%d: mirror race recovery in progress"
84.It "mly%d: mirror race recovery on a critical drive"
85.Pp
86These error codes are undocumented.
87.It "mly%d: FATAL MEMORY PARITY ERROR"
88.Pp
89Firmware detected a fatal memory error; the driver will not attempt to
90attach to this controller.
91.It "mly%d: unknown initialisation code %x"
92.Pp
93An unknown error occurred during initialisation; it will be ignored.
94.El
95.Ss Driver initialisation/shutdown phase
96.Bl -diag
97.It "mly%d: can't enable busmaster feature"
98.It "mly%d: memory window not available"
99.It "mly%d: can't allocate register window"
100.It "mly%d: can't allocate interrupt"
101.It "mly%d: can't set up interrupt"
102.Pp
103The system's PCI BIOS has not correctly configured the controller's
104PCI interface; initialisation has failed and the driver will not
105attach to this controller.
106.It "mly%d: can't allocate parent DMA tag"
107.It "mly%d: can't allocate buffer DMA tag"
108.It "mly%d: can't allocate command packet DMA tag"
109.It "mly%d: can't allocate scatter/gather DMA tag"
110.It "mly%d: can't allocate s/g table"
111.It "mly%d: can't allocate memory mailbox DMA tag"
112.It "mly%d: can't allocate memory mailbox"
113.Pp
114A resource allocation error occurred while initialising the driver;
115initialisation has failed and the driver will not attach to this
116controller.
117.It "mly%d: BTL rescan result corrupted"
118.Pp
119The results of a scan for an attached device were corrupted.
120One or more devices may not be correctly reported.
121.It "mly%d: flushing cache..."
122.Pp
123The controller cache is being flushed prior to detach or shutdown.
