26.Os
27.Sh NAME
28.Nm aacraid
29.Nd Adaptec AACRAID Controller driver
30.Sh SYNOPSIS
31To compile this driver into the kernel,
32place the following lines in your
33kernel configuration file:
34.Bd -ragged -offset indent
35.Cd device pci
36.Cd device aacraid
37.Pp
38To compile in debugging code:
39.Cd options AACRAID_DEBUG=N
40.Ed
41.Pp
42Alternatively, to load the driver as a
43module at boot time, place the following line in
44.Xr loader.conf 5 :
45.Bd -literal -offset indent
46aacraid_load="YES"
47.Ed
48.Sh DESCRIPTION
49The
50.Nm
51driver provides support for the Adaptec by PMC RAID controllers,
52including Series 6/7/8 and upcoming families.
53.Pp
54The RAID containers are handled via the
55.Nm aacraidp0
56bus.
57The physical buses are represented by the
58.Nm aacraidp?
59devices (beginning with aacraidp1).
60These devices enable the
61SCSI pass-passthrough interface and allows devices connected
62to the card such as CD-ROMs to be available via the CAM
63.Xr scsi 4
64subsystem.
65Note that not all cards allow this interface to be enabled.
66.Pp
67The
68.Pa /dev/aacraid?
69device nodes provide access to the management interface of the controller.
70One node exists per installed card.
71If the
72.Pa aacraid_linux.ko
73and
74.Pa linux.ko
75modules are loaded, the
76Linux-compatible
77.Xr ioctl 2
78interface for the management device will be enabled and will allow
79Linux-based management applications to control the card.

111.El
112.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
113Compiling with
114.Dv AACRAID_DEBUG
115set to a number between 0 and 3
116will enable increasingly verbose debug messages.
117.Pp
118The adapter can send status and alert messages asynchronously
119to the driver.
120These messages are printed on the system console,
121and are also queued for retrieval by a management application.
