 MPT_SAS 7D "Dec 15, 2017"
 NAME
mpt_sas - SAS-2/3 host bus adapter driver
 SYNOPSIS
scsi@unit-address


 DESCRIPTION

The mpt_sas host bus adapter driver is a nexus driver that supports
Broadcom (formerly LSI and Avago) SAS chipsets including the SAS200x/2x08/2x16
and SAS300x/3x08/3x16/3x24 series of chips. These chips support SAS/SATA
interfaces, including tagged and untagged queuing, SATA 3G/SAS 3G/SAS 6G/SAS
12G.
 "Configuration"

The mpt_sas driver is configured by defining properties in
mpt_sas.conf. These properties override the global SCSI settings. The
mpt_sas driver supports one modifiable property:
mpxio-disable

Solaris I/O multipathing is enabled or disabled on SAS devices with the
mpxio-disable property. Specifying mpxio-disable="no" activates I/O
multipathing, while mpxio-disable="yes" disables I/O multipathing.
Solaris I/O multipathing can be enabled or disabled on a per port basis. Per
port settings override the global setting for the specified ports.
The following example shows how to disable multipathing on port 0 whose parent
is /pci@0,0/pci8086,2940@1c/pci1000,72@0:
name="mpt_sas" parent="/pci@0,0/pci8086,2940@1c/pci1000,72@0"
mpxio-disable="yes";


 EXAMPLES

Example 1 Using the mpt_sas Configuration File to Disable MPXIO

Create a file called /kernel/drv/mpt_sas.conf and add the following line:

name="mpt_sas" parent="/pci@0,0/pci8086,2940@1c/pci1000,72@0"
mpxio-disable="yes";
