This can be used to determine whether the max_chains tunable should be increased to help performance. .Pp The current number of active I/O commands is shown in the dev.mps.X.io_cmds_active .Xr sysctl 8 variable. .Pp To set the maximum number of pages that will be used per I/O for all adapters, set this tunable in .Xr loader.conf 5 : .Bd -literal -offset indent hw.mps.max_io_pages=NNNN .Ed .Pp To set the maximum number of pages that will be used per I/O for a specific adapter, set this tunable in .Xr loader.conf 5 : .Bd -literal -offset indent dev.mps.X.max_io_pages=NNNN .Ed .Pp The default max_io_pages value is -1, meaning that the maximum I/O size that will be used per I/O will be calculated using the IOCFacts values stored in the controller. The lowest value that the driver will use for max_io_pages is 1, otherwise IOCFacts will be used to calculate the maximum I/O size. The smaller I/O size calculated from either max_io_pages or IOCFacts will be the maximum I/O size used by the driver. .Pp The highest number of active I/O commands seen since boot is stored in the dev.mps.X.io_cmds_highwater .Xr sysctl 8 variable. .Pp Devices can be excluded from .Nm control for all adapters by setting this tunable in .Xr loader.conf 5 : .Bd -literal -offset indent hw.mps.exclude_ids=Y .Ed .Pp Y represents the target ID of the device. If more than one device is to be excluded, target IDs are separated by commas. .Pp Devices can be excluded from .Nm control for a specific adapter by setting this tunable in .Xr loader.conf 5 : .Bd -literal -offset indent dev.mps.X.exclude_ids=Y .Ed .Pp Y represents the target ID of the device. If more than one device is to be excluded, target IDs are separated by commas. .Pp The adapter can issue the .Sy StartStopUnit SCSI command to SATA direct-access devices during shutdown. This allows the device to quiesce powering down. To control this feature for all adapters, set the .Bd -literal -offset indent hw.mps.enable_ssu .Ed .Pp tunable in .Xr loader.conf 5 to one of these values: .Bl -tag -width 6n -offset indent .It 0 Do not send SSU to either HDDs or SSDs. .It 1 Send SSU to SSDs, but not to HDDs. This is the default value. .It 2 Send SSU to HDDs, but not to SSDs. .It 3 Send SSU to both HDDs and SSDs. .El .Pp To control this feature for a specific adapter, set this tunable value in .Xr loader.conf 5 : .Bd -literal -offset indent dev.mps.X.enable_ssu .Ed .Pp The same set of values are valid as when setting this tunable for all adapters. .Pp SATA disks that take several seconds to spin up and fail the SATA Identify command might not be discovered by the driver. This problem can sometimes be overcome by increasing the value of the spinup wait time in .Xr loader.conf 5 with the .Bd -literal -offset indent hw.mps.spinup_wait_time=NNNN .Ed .Pp tunable. NNNN represents the number of seconds to wait for SATA devices to spin up when the device fails the initial SATA Identify command. .Pp Spinup wait times can be set for specific adapters in .Xr loader.conf 5 : with the .Bd -literal -offset indent dev.mps.X.spinup_wait_time=NNNN .Ed .Pp tunable. NNNN is the number of seconds to wait for SATA devices to spin up when they fail the initial SATA Identify command. .Pp The driver can map devices discovered by the adapter so that target IDs corresponding to a specific device persist across resets and reboots. In some cases it is possible for devices to lose their mapped IDs due to unexpected behavior from certain hardware, such as some types of enclosures. To overcome this problem, a tunable is provided that will force the driver to map devices using the Phy number associated with the device. This feature is not recommended if the topology includes multiple enclosures/expanders. If multiple enclosures/expanders are present in the topology, Phy numbers are repeated, causing all devices at these Phy numbers except the first device to fail enumeration. To control this feature for all adapters, set the .Bd -literal -offset indent hw.mps.use_phy_num .Ed .Pp tunable in .Xr loader.conf 5 to one of these values: .Bl -tag -width 6n -offset indent .It -1 Only use Phy numbers to map devices and bypass the driver's mapping logic. .It 0 Never use Phy numbers to map devices. .It 1 Use Phy numbers to map devices, but only if the driver's mapping logic fails to map the device that is being enumerated. This is the default value. .El .Pp To control this feature for a specific adapter, set this tunable value in .Xr loader.conf 5 : .Bd -literal -offset indent dev.mps.X.use_phy_num .Ed .Pp The same set of values are valid as when setting this tunable for all adapters. .Sh DEBUGGING Driver diagnostic printing is controlled in .Xr loader.conf 5 by using the global .Va hw.mps.debug_level and per-device .Va dev.mps.X.debug_level tunables. One can alter the debug level for any adapter at run-time using the .Xr sysctl 8 variable .Va dev.mps.X.debug_level . .Pp All .Va debug_level variables can be named by either an integer value or a text string. Multiple values can be specified together by either ORing the integer values or by providing a comma-separated list of names. A text string prefixed by .Qq + adds the specified debug levels to the existing set, while the prefix .Qq - removes them from the existing set. The current .Va debug_level status is reported in both formats for convenience. The following levels are available: .Bl -column "FlagXX" "NameXXXX" "Description" -offset indent .It Em Flag Ta Em Name Ta Em Description .It 0x0001 Ta info Ta Basic information (enabled by default) .It 0x0002 Ta fault Ta Driver faults (enabled by default) .It 0x0004 Ta event Ta Controller events .It 0x0008 Ta log Ta Logging data from controller .It 0x0010 Ta recovery Ta Tracing of recovery operations .It 0x0020 Ta error Ta Parameter errors and programming bugs .It 0x0040 Ta init Ta System initialization operations .It 0x0080 Ta xinfo Ta More detailed information .It 0x0100 Ta user Ta Tracing of user-generated commands (IOCTL) .It 0x0200 Ta mapping Ta Tracing of device mapping .It 0x0400 Ta trace Ta Tracing through driver functions .El .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr cam 4 , .Xr cd 4 , .Xr ch 4 , .Xr da 4 , .Xr mpr 4 , .Xr mpt 4 , .Xr pci 4 , .Xr sa 4 , .Xr scsi 4 , .Xr targ 4 , .Xr loader.conf 5 , .Xr mpsutil 8 , .Xr sysctl 8 .Sh HISTORY The .Nm driver first appeared in .Fx 9.0 . .Sh AUTHORS The .Nm driver was originally written by .An -nosplit .An Scott Long Aq Mt scottl@FreeBSD.org .
