38.Dt IOPSP 4
39.Os
40.Sh NAME
41.Nm iopsp
42.Nd I2O SCSI port driver
43.Sh SYNOPSIS
44.Cd "iopsp* at iop? tid ?"
45.Cd "scsibus* at iopsp?"
46.Sh DESCRIPTION
47The
48.Nm
49driver provides support for I2O SCSI bus adapter ports and child
50peripherals.
51.Pp
52IOPs present each child peripheral attached to a bus adapter port as an
53individual device.  In order to present the appearance of a bus, the
54.Nm
55driver groups child peripherals by controlling port.
56.Pp
57On IOPs containing a SCSI port and block or tape driver modules, some SCSI
58devices may not be directly accessible.  For each inaccessible device, a
59message will be displayed during configuration.  For example:
60.Bd -literal
61	iopsp0: target 0,0 (tid 70): in use by tid 47
62.Ed
63.Pp
64Such devices will usually be indirectly accessible as block devices, either
65individually or as part of an array.
