-.SH DESCRIPTION
-.B smartpqi
-is a SCSI driver for Microchip Smart Storage controllers.
-.SS Supported \f[BI]ioctl\fP\/() operations
-For compatibility with applications written for the
-.BR cciss (4)
-and
-.BR hpsa (4)
-drivers, many, but not all of the
-.BR ioctl (2)
-operations supported by the
-.B hpsa
-driver are also supported by the
-.B smartpqi
-driver.
-The data structures used by these operations
-are described in the Linux kernel source file
-.IR include/linux/cciss_ioctl.h .
-.TP
-.B CCISS_DEREGDISK
-.TQ
-.B CCISS_REGNEWDISK
-.TQ
-.B 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
-.BR smartpqi -specific
-host
-.I rescan
-attribute.
-.TP
-.B CCISS_GETPCIINFO
-This operation returns the PCI domain, bus,
-device, and function and "board ID" (PCI subsystem ID).
-.TP
-.B CCISS_GETDRIVVER
-This operation returns the driver version in four bytes, encoded as:
-.IP
-.in +4n
-.EX
-(major_version << 28) | (minor_version << 24) |
- (release << 16) | revision
-.EE
-.in
-.TP
-.B CCISS_PASSTHRU
-Allows BMIC and CISS commands to be passed through to the controller.
-.SS Boot options
-.TP
-.BR disable_device_id_wildcards= { 0 | 1 }
-Disables support for device ID wildcards.
-The default value is 0 (wildcards are enabled).
-.TP
-.BR disable_heartbeat= { 0 | 1 }
-Disables support for the controller's heartbeat check.
-This parameter is used for debugging purposes.
-The default value is 0 (the controller's heartbeat check is enabled).
-.TP
-.BR disable_ctrl_shutdown= { 0 | 1 }
-Disables support for shutting down the controller in the
-event of a controller lockup.
-The default value is 0 (controller will be shut down).
-.TP
-.BR lockup_action= { none | reboot | panic }
-Specifies the action the driver takes when a controller
-lockup is detected.
-The default action is
-.BR none .
-.TS
-l l
----
-l l.
-parameter action
-\fBnone\fP take controller offline only
-\fBreboot\fP reboot the system
-\fBpanic\fP panic the system
-.TE
-.TP
-.BR expose_ld_first= { 0 | 1 }
-This option exposes logical devices to the OS before physical devices.
-The default value is 0 (physical devices exposed first).
-.TP
-.BR hide_vsep= { 0 | 1 }
-This option disables exposure of the virtual SEP to the OS.
-The default value is 0 (virtual SEP is exposed).
-.TP
-.BR disable_managed_interrupts= { 0 | 1 }
-Disables driver utilization of Linux kernel managed interrupts for controllers.
-The managed interrupts feature automatically distributes interrupts
-to all available CPUs and assigns SMP affinity.
-The default value is 0 (managed interrupts enabled).
-.TP
-.BR ctrl_ready_timeout= { 0 |[ 30 , 1800 ]}
-This option specifies the timeout in seconds for the driver to wait
-for the controller to be ready.
-The valid range is 0 or
-.RB [ 30 ", " 1800 ].
-The default value is 0,
-which causes the driver to use a timeout of 180 seconds.
-.SH FILES
-.SS Device nodes
-Disk drives are accessed via the SCSI disk driver
-.RI ( sd ),
-tape drives via the SCSI tape driver
-.RI ( st ),
-and the RAID controller via the SCSI generic driver
-.RI ( sg ),
-with device nodes named
-.IR /dev/sd *,
-.IR /dev/st *,
-and
-.IR /dev/sg *,
-respectively.
-.SS SmartPQI-specific host attribute files in \f[BI]/sys\fP
-.TP
-.IR /sys/class/scsi_host/host * /rescan
-The host
-.I 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 volumes) 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 volumes.
-.TP
-.IR /sys/class/scsi_host/host * /lockup_action
-The host
-.I lockup_action
-attribute is a read/write attribute.
