40.Sh NAME
41.Nm mpt
42.Nd LSI Fusion-MPT SCSI/Fibre Channel driver
43.Sh SYNOPSIS
44To compile this driver into the kernel,
45place the following lines in your
46kernel configuration file:
47.Bd -ragged -offset indent
48.Cd "device scbus"
49.Cd "device mpt"
50.Ed
51.Pp
52Alternatively, to load the driver as a
53module at boot time, place the following line in
54.Xr loader.conf 5 :
55.Bd -literal -offset indent
56mpt_load="YES"
57.Ed
58.Sh DESCRIPTION
59The
60.Nm
61driver provides support
62for the LSI Logic Fusion-MPT family of
63.Tn SCSI ,
64.Tn Fibre Channel
65and
66.Tn SAS
67controllers.
68.Sh HARDWARE
69The following controllers are supported by the
70.Nm
71driver:
72.Pp
73.Bl -bullet -compact

108(Dual 4Gb/s
109.Tn Fibre Channel PCI-Express)
110.El
111.Pp
112The
113.Tn Ultra 320 SCSI
114controller chips supported by the
115.Nm
116driver can be found onboard on many systems including:
117.Pp
118.Bl -bullet -compact
119.It
120Dell PowerEdge 1750 thru 2850
121.It
122IBM eServer xSeries 335
123.El
124.Pp
125These systems also contain Integrated Raid Mirroring and Integrated
126Raid Mirroring Enhanced which this driver also supports.
127.Pp
128The
129.Tn SAS
130controller chips are also present on many new AMD/Opteron based systems,
131like the Sun 4100.
132Note that this controller can drive both SAS and SATA
133drives or a mix of them at the same time.
134The Integrated Raid Mirroring
135available for these controllers is poorly supported at best.
136.Pp
137The
138.Tn Fibre Channel
139controller chipset are supported by a broad variety of speeds and systems.
140The
141.Tn Apple
142Fibre Channel HBA is in fact the
143.Tn FC949ES
144card.
145.Pp
146This driver also supports target mode for Fibre Channel cards.
147This support may be enabled by setting the desired role of the core via
148the LSI Logic firmware utility that establishes what roles the card
149can take on - no separate compilation is required.
