|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver provides support for third and fourth generation DPT
|
|
.Tn SCSI
|
|
controllers. All communication with the controllers is conducted via the
|
|
EATA (Enhanced AT Bus Attachment) protocol.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
DPT adapters examine and interpret all
|
|
.Tn SCSI
|
|
commands received before passing them to any underlying physical device(s).
|
|
In this way, caching, RAID and other transformations are achieved while
|
|
remaining transparent to the host operating system.
|
|
.Sh HARDWARE
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver provides support for the adapters listed below. Later models are
|
|
supported by the
|
|
.Nm iop
|
|
driver.

|
|
The EATA configuration data did not appear upon request. This may be caused
|
|
by older firmware. Generally the solution is to power-cycle the affected
|
|
machine.
|

|
|
A spurious interrupt was received from the HBA.

|
|
A corrupt or incomplete status packet was received from the HBA.

.Sh HISTORY
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm dpt
|
|
driver first appeared in
|
|
.Nx 1.4.2 .
|
|
.Sh AUTHORS
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver was written by
|
|
.An Andrew Doran
|
|
.Aq ad@NetBSD.org ,
|
|
based upon the
|
|
.Nm uha
|
|
and
|
|
.Nm bha
|
|
drivers, which are the work of others.
|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
EATA adapters other than listed may function correctly with the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver, however a definitive list is not available.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Older boards that do not support scatter-gather I/O or DMA are not supported.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
ECC formatted disk and arrays (i.e. with a sector size of 528 bytes) do not
|
|
work correctly with the PM2041 and certain firmware revisions of the PM3334.
