SYNOPSIS


.Cd "device isp"

For one or more SCSI busses:
.Cd device scbus0

DESCRIPTION

This driver provides access to SCSI or FibreChannel devices.

SCSI features include support for Ultra SCSI and wide mode transactions for SCSI, Ultra2 LVD (for the ISP1080 and ISP1280), and Ultra3 LVD (for the ISP12160).

Fibre Channel support uses FCP SCSI profile for FibreChannel. and utilizes Class 3 and Class 2 connections (Qlogic 2100 is Class 3 only, minor patches to the Qlogic 2200 to force Class 2 mode). Support is available for Public and Private loops, and for point-to-point connections (Qlogic 2200 only). The newer 2-Gigabit cards (2300, 2312) are also supported. Command tagging is supported for all (in fact, FibreChannel requires tagging). Fabric support is enabled by default (but may be contingent upon the correct firmware being loaded).

FIRMWARE

Firmware is now available if the ispfw(4) module is loaded during bootstrap (q.v.).

It is very strongly recommended that you use the firmware available from ispfw(4) as it is the most likely to have been tested with this driver.

CONFIGURATION OPTIONS

Target mode support may be enabled with the


.Cd options ISP_TARGET_MODE

option.

BOOT OPTIONS

The following options are switchable by setting values in the loader configuration file (see the loader(8) manual page). They are:

isp_disable A bit mask of units to skip configuration for.
isp_mem_map A bit mask of units to use PCI Memory space instead of I/O space access for.
isp_io_map A bit mask of units to use PCI I/O space instead of Memory space access for.
isp_no_nvram A bit mask of units that you wish to ignore board NVRAM settings for.
isp_nvram A bit mask of units that you wish to specifically use board NVRAM settings for.
isp_fcduplex A bit mask of units that you wish to specifically to set into full duplex mode.
isp_no_fcduplex
A bit mask of units that you wish to specifically to not set into full duplex mode.
isp_wwn This should be the full 64 bit World Wide Node Name you would like to use, overriding the value in NVRAM for the card.
isp_debug This is a driver debug level- meaningful from 0 through 7.
isp_tdebug This is a driver target mode debug level- meaningful from 0 through 5.
