- .Sh NAME
- .Nm hptrr
- .Nd "HighPoint RocketRAID device driver"
- .Sh SYNOPSIS
- To compile this driver into the kernel,
- place the following line in your
- kernel configuration file:
- .Bd -ragged -offset indent
- .Cd "device hptrr"
- .Cd "device scbus"
- .Cd "device da"
- .Ed
- .Pp
- Alternatively, to load the driver as a
- module at boot time, place the following line in
- .Xr loader.conf 5 :
- .Bd -literal -offset indent
- hptrr_load="YES"
- .Ed
- .Pp
- The following tunables are settable from the loader:
- .Bl -ohang
- .It Va hw.hptrr.attach_generic
- set to 1 to permit driver attach to chips with generic Marvell (non-HighPoint)
- PCI identification. These chips are also supported by
- .Xr ata 4
- and
- .Xr mvs 4 .
- Some vendors are using same chips, but without providing RAID BIOS.
- .El
- .Sh DESCRIPTION
- The
- .Nm
- driver provides support for HighPoint's RocketRAID based RAID controllers.
- .Pp
- These devices support SATA/ATA disk drives
- and provide RAID0 (striping), RAID1 (mirroring), and RAID5 functionality.
- .Sh HARDWARE
- The
- .Nm
- driver supports the following RAID
- controllers:
- .Pp
- .Bl -bullet -compact
- .It
- RocketRAID 172x series
- .It
- RocketRAID 174x series
- .It
- RocketRAID 2210
- .It
- RocketRAID 222x series
- .It
- RocketRAID 2240
- .It
- RocketRAID 230x series
- .It
- RocketRAID 231x series
- .It
- RocketRAID 232x series
- .It
- RocketRAID 2340
- .It
- RocketRAID 2522
- .El
- .Sh NOTES
- The
- .Nm
- driver only works on the i386 and amd64 platforms as it requires a binary
- blob object from the manufacturer which they only supply for these platforms.
- The
- .Nm
- driver does
- .Em not
- work on i386 with
- .Xr pae 4
- enabled.
- .Pp
- This driver does not support the RR182x series controller.
- See the
- .Xr hptmv 4
- manual page for details on support.
- .Pp
- This driver supersedes the older rr232x driver.

- .Sh HISTORY
- The
- .Nm
- device driver first appeared in
- .Fx 6.3 .
- .Sh AUTHORS
- .An -nosplit
- The
- .Nm
- device driver was written by
- .An HighPoint Technologies, Inc. ,
- and ported to
- .Fx
- by
- .An Scott Long .
- This manual page was written by
- .An David E. O'Brien .
- .Sh BUGS
- The
- .Nm
- driver does not support manipulating the RAID from the OS, RAIDs need
- to be set up from the on-board BIOS.
