mpii
— LSI Logic
Fusion-MPT Message Passing Interface II
mpii* at pci? dev ? function ?
The mpii
driver provides support for
storage controllers using the LSI Logic Fusion-MPT Message Passing Interface
II family of chipsets:
These chipsets can be found on the following controllers:
Some models of these controllers carry an Integrated RAID (IR) firmware providing support for RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID10 or RAID5 using SAS or SATA drives. All RAID configuration is done through the controllers' BIOSes.
mpii
supports monitoring of the logical
disks in the controller through the
bioctl(8) and
envstat(8) commands.
The mpii
driver is able to send events to
powerd(8) if a logical drive
in the controller is not online. The
state-changed
event will be sent to the
/etc/powerd/scripts/sensor_drive script when such
condition happens.
bio(4), intro(4), pci(4), scsi(4), sd(4), bioctl(8), envstat(8), powerd(8)
The mpii
driver first appeared in
OpenBSD 4.7. NetBSD support
was added in NetBSD 6.0.
The mpii
driver was written by
James Giannoules and Mike
Belopuhov.
The chips supported by mpii
do not use a
SCSI-like identifier. Instead they use an opaque ID and leave discovery
order up to the operating system. The code to handle this is currently not
implemented and therefore it is not a good idea to run this driver on a
multi-boot machine.
