NAME
     hptmv — HighPoint RocketRAID 182x device driver


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

           device hptmv

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

           hptmv_load="YES"


DESCRIPTION
     The hptmv driver provides support for HighPoint's RocketRAID 182x based RAID controller.

     These devices support ATA disk drives and provide RAID0 (striping), RAID1 (mirroring), and RAID5
     functionality.


HARDWARE
     The hptmv driver supports the following ATA RAID controllers:

     •   HighPoint's RocketRAID 182x series


NOTES
     The hptmv 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 hptmv driver does not work on i386 with
     pae(4) enabled.


SEE ALSO
     kld(4), kldload(8), loader(8)


HISTORY
     The hptmv device driver first appeared in FreeBSD 5.3.


AUTHORS

     This manual page was written by David E. O'Brien.


BUGS
     The hptmv driver does not support manipulating the RAID from the OS, RAIDs need to be set up from the on-
     board BIOS.
