AdvancedRAID Controller driver
aac* at pci? dev ? function ?
ld* at aac? unit ?
The aac
driver provides support for the
Adaptec AAC family of SCSI and SATA RAID controllers. These controllers
support RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, and volume sets. They have four channels in the
add-in version or 1-2 channels in the motherboard integrated version, and
are most often found rebadged by Dell, Hewlett-Packard or IBM. Supported
controllers include:
Access to RAID containers is available via the
ld
device driver. Individual drives cannot be
accessed unless they are part of a container or volume set, and non-fixed
disks cannot be accessed. Containers can be configured by using the on-board
BIOS utility of the card.
The adapter can send status and alert messages asynchronously to the driver. These messages are printed on the system console.
The aac
driver first appeared in
NetBSD 1.6, and was based on the
FreeBSD driver of the same name.
This driver is not compatible with controllers that have version 1.x firmware. The firmware version is the same as the kernel version printed in the BIOS POST and driver attach messages.
