30.Sh NAME
31.Nm arcmsr
32.Nd Areca SATA II RAID Controller driver
33.Sh SYNOPSIS
34.Cd "device arcmsr"
35.Cd "device pci"
36.Cd "device scbus"
37.Cd "device da"
38.Sh DESCRIPTION
39The
40.Nm
41driver provides support for the Areca ARC-11xx and ARC-12xx series of SATA II
42RAID controllers.
43These controllers feature RAID-0, 1, 3, 5, 6, and 10 and
44JBOD acceleration for up to 16 SATA drives.
45Raid level and stripe level
46migration, online capacity expansion, hot insertion/removal, automatic failover
47and rebuild, and SMART are also supported.
48Access to the arrays is provided
49via the SCSI CAM
50.Pa /dev/da?
51device nodes.
52A management interface is also present via the
53.Pa /dev/arcmsr?
54device node.  Management tools for i386 and amd64 are available from Areca.
