32 .Nd "HighPoint RocketRAID device driver"
34 To compile this driver into the kernel,
35 place the following line in your
36 kernel configuration file:
37 .Bd -ragged -offset indent
43 Alternatively, to load the driver as a
44 module at boot time, place the following line in
46 .Bd -literal -offset indent
52 driver provides support for HighPoint's RocketRAID based RAID controllers.
54 These devices support SATA/ATA disk drives
55 and provide RAID0 (striping), RAID1 (mirroring), and RAID5 functionality.
57 The following tunables are settable from the loader:
58 .Bl -tag -width indent
59 .It Va hw.hptrr.attach_generic
60 Set to 1 to permit the driver to attach to chips with generic Marvell
61 (non-HighPoint) PCI identification.
62 These chips are also supported by
66 Some vendors are using these chips without providing a RAID BIOS.
71 driver supports the following RAID
76 RocketRAID 172x series
78 RocketRAID 174x series
82 RocketRAID 222x series
86 RocketRAID 230x series
88 RocketRAID 231x series
90 RocketRAID 232x series
99 driver only works on the x86_64 platform as it requires a
100 blob from the manufacturer which they only supply for these platforms.
102 This driver does not support the RR182x series controller.
105 manual page for details on support.
117 device driver first appeared in
123 device driver was written by
124 .An HighPoint Technologies, Inc. ,
129 This manual page was written by
130 .An David E. O'Brien .
134 driver does not support manipulating the RAID from the OS, RAIDs need
135 to be set up from the on-board BIOS.
