ciss
driver provides support for the CISS interface
implemented by fifth and later generations of the HP/Compaq Smart ARRAY family
of controllers.
The CISS interface is defined in the document entitled CISS Command Interface for SCSI-3 Support Open Specification, Version 1.04, Valence Number 1, Compaq Computer Corporation, 2000/11/27.
This driver supports several Compaq and HP controllers implementing the CISS interface, including:
These controllers support RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, JBOD, and superpositions of those configurations.
Although the controllers are actual RAID controllers, the
ciss
driver makes them look just like SCSI
controllers. All RAID configuration must be done through the controllers'
BIOSes.
Hardware from previous generations of this product family may be supported by the cac(4) driver.
ciss
driver first appeared in
NetBSD 3.1.
ciss
driver was written by Michael

and ported to NetBSD by Tonnerre
Lombard
