29.Dt IPS 4
30.Os
31.Sh NAME
32.Nm ips
33.Nd IBM/Adaptec ServeRAID controller driver
34.Sh SYNOPSIS
35.Cd device scbus
36.Cd device ips
37.Sh DESCRIPTION
38The
39.Nm
40driver claims to support the
41.Tn IBM
42(now Adaptec) ServeRAID series
43.Tn SCSI
44controller cards.
45Some supported devices include:
46.Pp
47.Bl -bullet -compact
48.It
49IBM ServeRAID 3H
50.It
51ServeRAID 4L/4M/4H
52.It
53ServeRAID Series 5
54.It
55ServeRAID 6i/6M
56.El
57.Pp
58These cards come with a built in configuration utility stored in
59the firmware known as the
60.Tn ISPR .
61This utility is accessed with the
62.Aq Em Ctrl+I
63key combination during the initial card
64.Tn POST .
65.Pp
66It is highly recommended that this utility be used to configure the card
67before attempting to diagnose the below error messages.
68.Pp
69In some cases, the
70.Nm
71driver can have difficulties attaching during
72the system initialization period.
73To avoid these difficulties, set the
74.Va hw.ips.0.disable
75tunable to 1.
76It will prevent the driver from attaching.
77.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
78Several error codes may be shown when the card initializes the
79.Tn IBM
80.Tn ISPR
81utility and are independent of
82.Fx .

124.El
125.Ss Error messages due to DMA:
126.Bl -diag
127.It can't alloc command dma tag
128.It can't alloc SG dma tag
129.It can't alloc dma tag for statue queue
130.It dmamap failed

153.Sh COMPATIBILITY
154Unlike many of the other
155.Tn SCSI
156devices in
157.Fx ,
158the
159.Nm
160driver does not use the
161.Xr cam 4
162.Tn SCSI
163subsystem.
