NAME

       smartpqi - Microsemi Smart Family SCSI driver

SYNOPSIS

       modprobe smartpqi [disable_device_id_wildcards={0|1}] [disable_heartbeat={0|1}]
                         [disable_ctrl_shutdown={0|1}] [lockup_action={none|reboot|panic}]
                         [expose_ld_first={0|1}] [hide_vsep={0|1}]

DESCRIPTION

       smartpqi is a SCSI driver for Microsemi Smart Family controllers.

   Supported ioctl() operations
       For  compatibility  with  applications written for the cciss(4) and hpsa(4) drivers, many,
       but not all of the ioctl(2) operations supported by the hpsa driver are also supported  by
       the  smartpqi  driver.   The data structures used by these operations are described in the
       Linux kernel source file include/linux/cciss_ioctl.h.

       CCISS_DEREGDISK, CCISS_REGNEWDISK, CCISS_REGNEWD
              These operations all do exactly the same thing, which is to cause the driver to re-
              scan for new devices.  This does exactly the same thing as writing to the smartpqi-
              specific host rescan attribute.

       CCISS_GETPCIINFO
              This operation Returns the PCI domain, bus, device and function and "board ID" (PCI
              subsystem ID).

       CCISS_GETDRIVVER
              This operation returns the driver version in four bytes, encoded as:

                  (major_version << 28) | (minor_version << 24) |
                          (release << 16) | revision

       CCISS_PASSTHRU
              Allows BMIC and CISS commands to be passed through to the controller.

   Boot options
       disable_device_id_wildcards={0|1}
              Disables support for device ID wildcards.  The default value is 0.

       disable_heartbeat={0|1}
              Disables  support for the controller's heartbeat check.  This parameter is used for
              debugging purposes.  The default value is 0,  leaving  the  controller's  heartbeat
              check active.

       disable_ctrl_shutdown={0|1}
              Disables  support  for  shutting  down  the controller in the event of a controller
              lockup.  The default value is 0.

       lockup_action={none|reboot|panic}
              Specifies the action the driver takes when a controller lockup  is  detected.   The
              default action is none.

              parameter   action
              ─────────────────────────────────────────────
              none        take controller offline only
              reboot      reboot the system
              panic       panic the system

       expose_ld_first={0|1}
              This  option  enables  support for exposing logical devices to the operating system
              before physical devices.  The default value is 0.

       hide_vsep={0|1}
              This option enables disabling exposure of the virtual SEP to  the  host.   This  is
              usually associated with direct attached drives.  The default value is 0.

FILES

   Device nodes
       Logical  drives  are accessed via the SCSI disk driver (sd), tape drives via the SCSI tape
       driver (st), and the RAID controller via the SCSI generic driver (sg), with  device  nodes
       named /dev/sd*, /dev/st*, and /dev/sg*, respectively.

   SmartPQI-specific host attribute files in /sys
       /sys/class/scsi_host/host*/rescan
              The  host  rescan  attribute  is a write-only attribute.  Writing to this attribute
              will cause the driver to scan for new, changed,  or  removed  devices  (e.g.,  hot-
              plugged  tape drives, or newly configured or deleted logical drives) and notify the
              SCSI  mid-layer  of  any  changes  detected.   Usually  this  action  is  triggered
              automatically  by  configuration  changes,  so the user should not normally have to
              write to this file.  Doing so may be useful when hot-plugging devices such as  tape
              drives or entire storage boxes containing pre-configured logical drives.

       /sys/class/scsi_host/host*/version
              The  host  version attribute is a read-only attribute.  This attribute contains the
              driver version and the controller firmware version.

              For example:

                  $ cat /sys/class/scsi_host/host1/version
                  driver: 1.1.2-126
                  firmware: 1.29-112

       /sys/class/scsi_host/host*/lockup_action
              The host lockup_action attribute is a read/write attribute.   This  attribute  will
              cause  the  driver  to  perform  a  specific  action  in  the unlikely event that a
              controller lockup has been detected.  See OPTIONS above for an explanation  of  the
              lockup_action values.

       /sys/class/scsi_host/host*/driver_version
              The  driver_version  attribute  is read-only.  This attribute contains the smartpqi
              driver version.

              For example:

                  $ cat /sys/class/scsi_host/host1/driver_version
                  1.1.2-126

       /sys/class/scsi_host/host*/firmware_version
              The  firmware_version  attribute  is  read-only.   This  attribute   contains   the
              controller firmware version.

              For example:

                  $ cat /sys/class/scsi_host/host1/firmware_version
                  1.29-112

       /sys/class/scsi_host/host*/model
              The   model   attribute   is   read-only.   This  attribute  contains  the  product
              identification string of the controller.

              For example:

                  $ cat /sys/class/scsi_host/host1/model
                  1100-16i

       /sys/class/scsi_host/host*/serial_number
              The serial_number attribute is  read-only.   This  attribute  contains  the  unique
              identification number of the controller.

              For example:

                  $ cat /sys/class/scsi_host/host1/serial_number
                  6A316373777

       /sys/class/scsi_host/host*/vendor
              The   vendor   attribute   is   read-only.   This  attribute  contains  the  vendor
              identification string of the controller.

              For example:

                  $ cat /sys/class/scsi_host/host1/vendor
                  Adaptec

   SmartPQI-specific disk attribute files in /sys
       In the file specifications below,  c  stands  for  the  number  of  the  appropriate  SCSI
       controller,  b  is  the  bus number, t the target number, and l is the logical unit number
       (LUN).

       /sys/class/scsi_disk/c:b:t:l/device/raid_level
              The raid_level attribute is read-only.  This attribute contains the RAID  level  of
              each logical drive.

              For example:

                  $ cat /sys/class/scsi_disk/4:0:0:0/device/raid_level
                  RAID 0

       /sys/class/scsi_disk/c:b:t:l/device/sas_address
              The  sas_address  attribute  is  read-only.   This  attribute  contains  the unique
              identifier of the disk.

              For example:

                  $ cat /sys/class/scsi_disk/1:0:3:0/device/sas_address
                  0x5001173d028543a2

       /sys/class/scsi_disk/c:b:t:l/device/ssd_smart_path_enabled
              The ssd_smart_path_enabled attribute is read-only.  This attribute is for  ioaccel-
              enabled volumes.  (Ioaccel is an alternative driver submission path that allows the
              driver to send I/O  requests  directly  to  backend  SCSI  devices,  bypassing  the
              controller  firmware.   This results in an increase in performance.  This method is
              used for HBA disks and for logical volumes  comprised  of  SSDs.)   Contains  1  if
              ioaccel is enabled for the volume and 0 otherwise.

              For example:

                  $ cat /sys/class/scsi_disk/1:0:3:0/device/ssd_smart_path_enabled
                  0

VERSIONS

       The smartpqi driver was added in Linux 4.9.
