NAME

       hptrr — HighPoint RocketRAID device driver

SYNOPSIS

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

             device hptrr
             device scbus
             device da

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

             hptrr_load="YES"

       The following tunables are settable from the loader:

       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 ata(4) and mvs(4).  Some vendors are using same chips, but without  providing
       RAID BIOS.

DESCRIPTION

       The hptrr driver provides support for HighPoint's RocketRAID based RAID controllers.

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

HARDWARE

       The hptrr driver supports the following RAID controllers:

       •   RocketRAID 172x series
       •   RocketRAID 174x series
       •   RocketRAID 2210
       •   RocketRAID 222x series
       •   RocketRAID 2240
       •   RocketRAID 230x series
       •   RocketRAID 231x series
       •   RocketRAID 232x series
       •   RocketRAID 2340
       •   RocketRAID 2522

NOTES

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

       This driver does not support the RR182x series controller.  See the hptmv(4) manual page for  details  on
       support.

       This driver supersedes the older rr232x driver.

BUGS

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