34.Nm isp

37.Cd "isp* at pci? dev? function?" Pq PCI
38.Cd "isp* at sbus? slot ? offset ?" Pq SBus
39.Cd scsibus* at isp?
40.Sh DESCRIPTION
41This driver provides access to
42.Tn SCSI
43or
44.Tn FibreChannel
45devices.
46.Pp
47SCSI features include support for Ultra SCSI and wide mode transactions for
48.Tn SCSI ,
49and LVD (for the ISP1080 and ISP1280),
50.Pp
51Fibre Channel support uses FCP SCSI profile for
52.Tn FibreChannel .
53and utilizes Class 3 connections only. Support is available for Public
54and Private loops.
55Command tagging is supported for all (in fact,
56.Tn FibreChannel
57requires tagging).
58.Sh CONFIGURATION
59An optional
60.Tn flags 0x80
61appended to the above
62.Tn isp*
63declarations will disable the download of driver f/w, which means you
64use whatever F/W is running on the card. If no firmware is running on the card,
65the driver cannot operate the card.
66.Pp
67An optional
68.Tn flags 0x40
69appended to the above
70.Tn isp*
71declarations (can be OR'd in with the other config flags option)
72will keep the driver from looking at device or bus NVRAM settings (this
73is in case NVRAM is just wrong and you have the card in a platform where
74it is inconvenient to change NVRAM settings on the card).

120.Sh AUTHORS
121The
122.Nm
123driver was written by Matthew Jacob for NASA/Ames Research Center.
124.Sh BUGS
125The driver currently ignores some NVRAM settings.
126.Pp
127The driver currently doesn't do error recovery for timed out commands
128very gracefully.
129.Pp
130Sometimes, when booting, the driver gets stuck waiting for the Fibre Channel
131f/w to tell it that the loop port database is ready. In this case you'll
132see an announcement that the loop state has a value of 0x1. To unwedge
133the system, unplug and replug the fibre channel connection, or otherwise
134cause a LIP (Loop Initialization Primitive sequence)- this will kick the f/w
135into getting unstuck.
