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.
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.
mpii
driver first appeared in
OpenBSD 4.7. NetBSD support
was added in NetBSD 6.0.
mpii
driver was written by James
Giannoules and Mike Belopuhov.
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.
