35.Sh NAME
36.Nm tws
37.Nd 3ware 9750 series SATA/SAS RAID controllers driver
38.Sh SYNOPSIS
39To compile this driver into the kernel,
40place the following lines in your
41kernel configuration file:
42.Bd -ragged -offset indent
43.Cd "device scbus"
44.Cd "device tws"
45.Ed
46.Pp
47Alternatively, to load the driver as a
48module at boot time, place the following line in
49.Xr loader.conf 5 :
50.Bd -literal -offset indent
51tws_load="YES"
52.Ed
53.Sh DESCRIPTION
54The
55.Nm
56driver provides support for LSI's 3ware 9750 series
57SATA/SAS controllers.
58.Pp
59These controllers are available in 4, 8, 16 or 24-port configurations,
60and support the following RAID levels: 0, 1, 10, 5, 50, 6.
61The device nodes for the controllers are of the form
62.Pa /dev/tws Ns Ar X ,
63where
64.Ar X
65is the controller number.
66The driver is implemented as a SCSI SIM
67under CAM, and, as such, the logical units that it controls are accessible
68via the device nodes,
69.Pa /dev/da Ns Ar Y ,
70where
71.Ar Y
72is the logical unit number.
73.Sh LOADER TUNABLES
74.Bl -tag -width indent
75.It Va hw.tws.msi.enable
76By default, the driver will use MSI if it is supported.
77This behavior can be turned off by setting this tunable to 0.
78.El
79.Sh HARDWARE
80The
81.Nm
82driver supports the following SATA RAID controllers:
