cissHP/Compaq Smart ARRAY 5/6 RAID controllers

ciss* at pci? function ?

The ciss driver provides support for the CISS interface implemented by fifth and later generations of the HP/Compaq Smart ARRAY family of controllers.

The CISS interface is defined in the document entitled CISS Command Interface for SCSI-3 Support Open Specification, Version 1.04, Valence Number 1, Compaq Computer Corporation, 2000/11/27.

This driver supports several Compaq and HP controllers implementing the CISS interface, including:

These controllers support RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, JBOD, and superpositions of those configurations.

Although the controllers are actual RAID controllers, the ciss driver makes them look just like SCSI controllers. All RAID configuration must be done through the controllers' BIOSes.

Hardware from previous generations of this product family may be supported by the cac(4) driver.

The ciss driver first appeared in NetBSD 3.1.

The ciss driver was written by Michael Shalayeff <mickey@openbsd.org>, and ported to NetBSD by Tonnerre Lombard <tonnerre@netbsd.org>.
