30.Dt ISP 4
31.Os
32.Sh NAME
33.Nm isp
34.Nd Qlogic based SPI and FibreChannel SCSI Host Adapters
35.Sh SYNOPSIS
36To compile this driver into the kernel,
37place the following lines in your
38kernel configuration file:
39.Bd -ragged -offset indent
40.Cd "device scbus"
41.Cd "device isp"
42.Cd "device ispfw"
43.Ed
44.Pp
45Alternatively, to load the driver as a
46module at boot time, place the following lines in
47.Xr loader.conf 5 :
48.Bd -literal -offset indent
49isp_load="YES"
50ispfw_load="YES"
51.Ed
52.Sh DESCRIPTION
53This driver provides access to
54.Tn SPI
55or
56.Tn FibreChannel
57SCSI devices.
58.Pp
59SPI supports initiator mode for Ultra SCSI and wide mode transactions for
60.Tn SCSI ,
61Ultra2 LVD (1080, 1280), and Ultra3 LVD (10160, 12160).
62.Pp
63Fibre Channel supports initiator and target modes of FCP SCSI profile,
64utilizing Class 3 and Class 2 (2200 and later) connections.
65Support is available for Public and Private loops, Point-to-Point
66and Fabric connections.
67.Pp
68FC-Tape is supported on 4Gb (2400) and newer controllers.
69FC-Tape is highly recommended for connections to tape drives that support
70it.
71It encompasses four elements from the T-10 FCP-4 specification:
72.Bl -bullet -offset indent
73.It
74Precise Delivery of Commands
75.It
76Confirmed Completion of FCP I/O Operations
77.It
78Retransmission of Unsuccessfully Transmitted IUs
79.It
80Task Retry Identification
81.El
82.Pp
83Together these features allow for link level error recovery with tape
84devices.
85Without it, an initiator cannot, for instance, tell whether a tape write
86command that has timed out resulted in all, part or none of the data going to
87the tape drive.
88FC-Tape is automatically enabled when connecting controller that supports
89it to a target that supports it.
90It may be disabled using configuration and hint options described below.
91.Sh FIRMWARE
92Firmware loading is supported if the
93.Xr ispfw 4
94module is loaded.
95It is strongly recommended that you use the firmware available from
96.Xr ispfw 4
97as it is the most likely to have been tested with this driver.
98.Sh HARDWARE

100.Nm

146.El
147.Sh CONFIGURATION OPTIONS
148Target mode support for Fibre Channel adapters may be enabled with the
149.Pp
150.Cd options ISP_TARGET_MODE
151.Pp
152option.
153.Pp
154To disable FC-Tape, use the following configuration option:
155.Pp
156.Cd options ISP_FCTAPE_OFF
157.Pp
158Note that even if the ISP_FCTAPE_OFF option is used, it may be overridden
159by the fctape hint described below.
160.Sh BOOT OPTIONS
161The following options are switchable by setting values in
162.Pa /boot/device.hints .
163.Pp
164They are:
165.Bl -tag -width indent
166.It Va hint.isp.0.fwload_disable
167A hint value to disable loading of firmware
168.Xr ispfw 4 .
169.It Va hint.isp.0.ignore_nvram
170A hint value to ignore board NVRAM settings for.
171Otherwise use NVRAM settings.
172.It Va hint.isp.0.fullduplex
173A hint value to set full duplex mode.
174.It Va hint.isp.0.topology
175A hint value to select topology of connection.
176Supported values are:
177.Pp
178.Bl -tag -width ".Li lport-only" -compact
179.It Li lport
180Prefer loopback and fallback to point to point.
181.It Li nport
182Prefer point to point and fallback to loopback.
183.It Li lport-only
184Loopback only.
185.It Li nport-only
186Point to point only.
187.El
188.It Va hint.isp.0.portwwn
189This should be the full 64 bit World Wide Port Name you would like
190to use, overriding the value in NVRAM for the card.
191.It Va hint.isp.0.nodewwn
192This should be the full 64 bit World Wide Node Name you would like
193to use, overriding the value in NVRAM for the card.
194.It Va hint.isp.0.iid
195A hint to override or set the Initiator ID or Loop ID.
196For Fibre Channel
197cards in Local Loop topologies it is
198.Ar strongly
199recommended that you set this value to non-zero.
200.It Va hint.isp.0.role
201A hint to define default role for isp instance (0 -- none, 1 -- target,
2022 -- initiator, 3 -- both).
203.It Va hint.isp.0.debug
204A hint value for a driver debug level (see the file
205.Pa /usr/src/sys/dev/isp/ispvar.h
206for the values.
207.It Va hint.isp.0.vports
208A hint to create specified number of additional virtual ports.
209.It Va hint.isp.0.nofctape
210Set this to 1 to disable FC-Tape operation on the given isp instance.
211.It Va hint.isp.0.fctape
212Set this to 1 to enable FC-Tape operation on the given isp instance for
213targets that support it.
214.El
215.Sh SYSCTL OPTIONS
216.Bl -tag -width indent
217.It Va dev.isp.N.loop_down_limit
218This value says how long to wait in seconds after loop has gone down before
219giving up and expiring all of the devices that were visible.
220The default is 300 seconds (5 minutes).
221A separate (nonadjustable) timeout is used when
222booting to not stop booting on lack of FC connectivity.
223.It Va dev.isp.N.gone_device_time
224This value says how long to wait for devices to reappear if they (temporarily)
225disappear due to loop or fabric events.
226While this timeout is running, I/O
227to those devices will simply be held.
228.It Va dev.isp.N.use_gff_id
229.It Va dev.isp.N.use_gft_id
230Setting those options to 0 allows to disable use of GFF_ID and GFT_ID SNS
231requests during FC fabric scan.
232It may be useful if switch does not implement them correctly,
233preventing some devices from being found.
234Disabling them may cause unneeded logins to ports not supporting target role
235or even FCP at all.
236The default is 1 (enabled).
237.It Va dev.isp.N.wwnn
238This is the readonly World Wide Node Name value for this port.
239.It Va dev.isp.N.wwpn
240This is the readonly World Wide Port Name value for this port.

249.Sh AUTHORS
250The
251.Nm
252driver was written by
253.An Matthew Jacob
254originally for NetBSD at NASA/Ames Research Center.
255Later improvement was done by
256.An Alexander Motin Aq Mt mav@FreeBSD.org .
257.Sh BUGS
258The driver currently ignores some NVRAM settings.
259.Pp
260Fabric support for 2100 cards has been so problematic, and these cards are so
261old now that it is just not worth your time to try it.
