.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

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.
This attribute will cause the driver to perform a specific action in the
unlikely event that a controller lockup has been detected.
See
.B OPTIONS
above
for an explanation of the
.I lockup_action
values.

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

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.

attribute is read-only.
This attribute contains the
.IR c : b : t : l
of the device
along with the device type
and whether the device is Active or Inactive.
If the device is an HBA device,
.I path_info
will also display the PORT, BOX, and BAY the device is plugged into.
.IP
For example:
.IP
.in +4n
.EX
$ \c

.TP
.IR /sys/class/scsi_disk/ c : b : t : l /device/sas_ncq_prio_enable
The
