30.Dt ISP 4
31.Os
32.Sh NAME
33.Nm isp
34.Nd Qlogic FibreChannel SCSI Host Adapters driver
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 FibreChannel
55SCSI devices.
56.Pp
57It supports initiator and target modes of FCP SCSI profile,
58utilizing Class 3 and Class 2 connections.
59Support is available for Public and Private loops, Point-to-Point
60and Fabric connections.
61.Pp
62Supported FC-Tape functionality is highly recommended for connections
63to tape drives that support it.
64It encompasses four elements from the T-10 FCP-4 specification:
65.Bl -bullet -offset indent
66.It
67Precise Delivery of Commands
68.It
69Confirmed Completion of FCP I/O Operations
70.It
71Retransmission of Unsuccessfully Transmitted IUs
72.It
73Task Retry Identification
74.El
75.Pp
76Together these features allow for link level error recovery with tape
77devices.
78Without it, an initiator cannot, for instance, tell whether a tape write
79command that has timed out resulted in all, part or none of the data going to
80the tape drive.
81FC-Tape is automatically enabled when connecting controller that supports
82it to a target that supports it.
83It may be disabled using configuration and hint options described below.
84.Sh FIRMWARE
85Firmware loading is supported if the
86.Xr ispfw 4
87module is loaded.
88It is strongly recommended that you use the firmware available from
89.Xr ispfw 4
90as it is the most likely to have been tested with this driver.
91.Sh HARDWARE
92Cards supported by the
93.Nm
94driver include:
95.Bl -tag -width xxxxxx -offset indent

116.El
117.Sh CONFIGURATION OPTIONS
118Target mode support for Fibre Channel adapters may be enabled with the
119.Pp
120.Cd options ISP_TARGET_MODE
121.Pp
122option.
123.Pp
124To disable FC-Tape, use the following configuration option:
125.Pp
126.Cd options ISP_FCTAPE_OFF
127.Pp
128Note that even if the ISP_FCTAPE_OFF option is used, it may be overridden
129by the fctape hint described below.
130.Sh BOOT OPTIONS
131The following options are switchable by setting values in
132.Pa /boot/device.hints .
133.Pp
134They are:
135.Bl -tag -width indent
136.It Va hint.isp. Ns Ar N Ns Va .msi
137Limit on number of Message Signaled Interrupts (MSI) to be used.
138.It Va hint.isp. Ns Ar N Ns Va .msix
139Limit on number of Extended Message Signaled Interrupts (MSI-X) to be used.
140.It Va hint.isp. Ns Ar N Ns Va .fwload_disable
141A hint value to disable loading of firmware
142.Xr ispfw 4 .
143.It Va hint.isp. Ns Ar N Ns Va .ignore_nvram
144A hint value to ignore board NVRAM settings for.
145Otherwise use NVRAM settings.
146.It Va hint.isp. Ns Ar N Ns Va .fullduplex
147A hint value to set full duplex mode.
148.It Va hint.isp. Ns Ar N Ns Va .topology
149A hint value to select topology of connection.
150Supported values are:
151.Pp
152.Bl -tag -width ".Li lport-only" -compact
153.It Li lport
154Prefer loopback and fallback to point to point.
155.It Li nport
156Prefer point to point and fallback to loopback.
157.It Li lport-only
158Loopback only.
159.It Li nport-only
160Point to point only.
161.El
162.It Va hint.isp. Ns Ar N Ns Va .portwwn
163This should be the full 64 bit World Wide Port Name you would like
164to use, overriding the value in NVRAM for the card.
165.It Va hint.isp. Ns Ar N Ns Va .nodewwn
166This should be the full 64 bit World Wide Node Name you would like
167to use, overriding the value in NVRAM for the card.
168.It Va hint.isp. Ns Ar N Ns Va .iid
169A hint to override or set the Initiator ID or Loop ID.
170For Fibre Channel
171cards in Local Loop topologies it is
172.Ar strongly
173recommended that you set this value to non-zero.
174.It Va hint.isp. Ns Ar N Ns Va .role
175A hint to define default role for isp instance (0 -- none, 1 -- target,
1762 -- initiator, 3 -- both).
177.It Va hint.isp. Ns Ar N Ns Va .debug
178A hint value for a driver debug level (see the file
179.Pa /usr/src/sys/dev/isp/ispvar.h
180for the values.
181.It Va hint.isp. Ns Ar N Ns Va .vports
182A hint to create specified number of additional virtual ports.
183.It Va hint.isp. Ns Ar N Ns Va .nofctape
184Set this to 1 to disable FC-Tape operation on the given isp instance.

186Set this to 1 to enable FC-Tape operation on the given isp instance for
187targets that support it.
188.El
189.Sh SYSCTL OPTIONS
190.Bl -tag -width indent
191.It Va dev.isp. Ns Ar N Ns Va .loop_down_limit
192This value says how long to wait in seconds after loop has gone down before
193giving up and expiring all of the devices that were visible.
194The default is 300 seconds (5 minutes).
195A separate (nonadjustable) timeout is used when
196booting to not stop booting on lack of FC connectivity.
197.It Va dev.isp. Ns Ar N Ns Va .gone_device_time
198This value says how long to wait for devices to reappear if they (temporarily)
199disappear due to loop or fabric events.
200While this timeout is running, I/O
201to those devices will simply be held.
202.It Va dev.isp. Ns Ar N Ns Va .use_gff_id
203.It Va dev.isp. Ns Ar N Ns Va .use_gft_id
204Setting those options to 0 allows to disable use of GFF_ID and GFT_ID SNS
205requests during FC fabric scan.
206It may be useful if switch does not implement them correctly,
207preventing some devices from being found.
208Disabling them may cause unneeded logins to ports not supporting target role
209or even FCP at all.
210The default is 1 (enabled).
211.It Va dev.isp. Ns Ar N Ns Va .wwnn
212This is the readonly World Wide Node Name value for this port.
213.It Va dev.isp. Ns Ar N Ns Va .wwpn
214This is the readonly World Wide Port Name value for this port.
