32.Sh NAME
33.Nm twa
34.Nd 3ware 9000 series SATA RAID controllers driver
35.Sh SYNOPSIS
36.Cd "device twa"
37.Sh DESCRIPTION
38The
39.Nm
40driver provides support for the AMCC's 3ware 9000 series SATA controllers.
41.Pp
42These controllers are available in 4, 8 or 12-port configurations,
43and support the following RAID levels: 0, 1, 10, 5, 50.
44The device nodes for the controllers are of the form
45.Pa /dev/twa Ns Ar X ,
46where
47.Ar X
48is the controller number.
49The driver is implemented as a SCSI SIM
50under CAM, and, as such, the logical units that it controls are accessible
51via the device nodes,
52.Pa /dev/da Ns Ar Y ,
53where
54.Ar Y
55is the logical unit number.
56.Sh HARDWARE
57The
58.Nm
59driver supports the following SATA RAID controllers:

73.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
74Whenever the driver encounters a command failure, it prints out an error code in
75the format:
76.Qq Li "ERROR: (<error source>: <error code>):" ,
77followed by a text description of the error.
78There are other error messages and warnings that the
79driver prints out, depending on the kinds of errors that it encounters.
80If the driver is compiled with
81.Dv TWA_DEBUG
82defined, it prints out a whole bunch of debug
83messages, the quantity of which varies depending on the value assigned to
84.Dv TWA_DEBUG
85(0 to 10).
