58.Sh NAME
59.Nm mly
60.Nd Mylex AcceleRAID/eXtremeRAID family driver
61.Sh SYNOPSIS
62.Cd "mly* at pci? dev ? function ?"
63.Cd "scsibus* at mly?"
64.Sh DESCRIPTION
65The
66.Nm
67driver provides support for Mylex AcceleRAID and eXtremeRAID family
68of PCI to SCSI RAID controllers with version 6.00 and later
69firmware.
70Supported controllers include:
71.Pp
72.Bl -bullet -compact
73.It
74AcceleRAID 160
75.It
76AcceleRAID 170
77.It
78AcceleRAID 352
79.It
80eXtremeRAID 2000
81.It
82eXtremeRAID 3000
83.El
84.Pp
85Compatible Mylex controllers not listed should work, but have not been
86tested.
87.Pp
88Logical devices (disk arrays) attached to the controller are presented
89to the SCSI subsystem as though they were direct-access devices on a
90virtual SCSI bus.
91Physical devices which are not claimed by a logical
92device are presented on SCSI channels which match the physical channels
93on the controller.
94.Pp
95The results of the SCSI ``INQUIRY'' command from logical devices are
96overwritten with status information by the
97.Nm
98driver.  The vendor field is the string ``MYLEX'', the product field
99indicates the type of logical device, and the revision field contains a four
100letter status code.  The possible status codes and their meanings are as
101follows:
102.Pp
103.Bl -tag -width XXXX -compact
104.It OFLN
105offline
106.It UNCF
107unconfigured
108.It ONLN
109online - optimal
110.It CRIT
111critical - one or more disks in the array has failed
112.It NORD
113write only
114.It STBY
115standby
116.It MISS
117missing
118.El
119.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
120.Ss Controller initialization phase
121.Bl -diag
122.It "mly%d: controller initialization started"
123.It "mly%d: initialization complete"
124.Pp
125The controller firmware has started initialization.
126Normally this process is performed by the controller BIOS,
127but the driver may need
128to do this in cases where the BIOS has failed, or is not compatible
129(e.g. on non-x86 systems).
130.It "mly%d: drive spinup in progress"
131.Pp
132Drive startup is in progress; this may take several minutes.
133.It "mly%d: mirror race recovery failed, one or more drives offline"
134.It "mly%d: mirror race recovery in progress"
135.It "mly%d: mirror race recovery on a critical drive"
136.Pp
137These error codes are undocumented.
138.It "mly%d: FATAL MEMORY PARITY ERROR"
139.Pp
140Firmware detected a fatal memory error; the driver will not attempt to
141attach to this controller.
142.It "mly%d: unknown initialization code %x"
143.Pp
144An unknown error occurred during initialization; it will be ignored.

275.Sh HISTORY
276The
277.Nm
278driver first appeared in
279.Nx 1.6 ,
280and was based on the
281.Fx
282driver of the same name.
283.Sh BUGS
284The
285.Nm
286driver currently assumes that all busses support at most 16 targets and 1
287logical unit per target.
288.Pp
289Enclosures are not named or otherwise identified in event messages.

291The transfer speed for devices is always reported to the kernel as 20MHz.
