NAME

     aac — Adaptec AdvancedRAID Controller driver

SYNOPSIS

     To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your kernel
     configuration file:

           device pci
           device aac
           device aacp

           To compile in debugging code:
           options AAC_DEBUG=N

     Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in
     loader.conf(5):

           aac_load="YES"

DESCRIPTION

     The aac driver provides support for the Adaptec AAC family of SCSI Ultra2, Ultra160, and
     Ultra320, SATA and SAS RAID controllers.

     Access to RAID containers is available via the /dev/aacd? device nodes.  The aacp device
     enables the SCSI pass-thru interface and allows devices connected to the card such as CD-
     ROMs to be available via the CAM scsi(4) subsystem.  Note that not all cards allow this
     interface to be enabled.

     The /dev/aac? device nodes provide access to the management interface of the controller.
     One node exists per installed card.  The aliases /dev/afa? and /dev/hpn? exist for
     compatibility with the Dell and HP versions of management tools, respectively.  If the
     kernel is compiled with the COMPAT_LINUX option, or the aac_linux.ko and linux.ko modules
     are loaded, the Linux-compatible ioctl(2) interface for the management device will be
     enabled and will allow Linux-based management applications to control the card.

DIAGNOSTICS

     Compiling with AAC_DEBUG set to a number between 0 and 3 will enable increasingly verbose
     debug messages.

     The adapter can send status and alert messages asynchronously to the driver.  These messages
     are printed on the system console, and are also queued for retrieval by a management
     application.

BUGS

     This driver is not compatible with Dell controllers that have version 1.x firmware.  The
     firmware version is the same as the kernel version printed in the BIOS POST and driver
     attach messages.

     The controller is not actually paused on suspend/resume.
