NAME
aac - Adaptec AdvancedRAID Controller driver
SYNOPSIS
aac* at pci? dev ? function ? ld* at aac? unit ?
DESCRIPTION
The aac driver provides support for the Adaptec AAC family of SCSI RAID controllers. These controllers support RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, and volume sets. They have four channels in the add-in version or 1-2 channels in the motherboard integrated version, and are most often found relabeled by Dell or Hewlett-Packard. Supported controllers include: + Adaptec AAC-364 + Adaptec SCSI RAID 2120S + Adaptec SCSI RAID 2200S + Adaptec SCSI RAID 5400S + Dell PERC 2/Si + Dell PERC 2/QC + Dell PERC 3/Di + Dell PERC 3/Si + HP NetRAID 4M Access to RAID containers is available via the ld device driver. Indi- vidual drives cannot be accessed unless they are part of a container or volume set, and non-fixed disks cannot be accessed. Containers can be configured by using either the on-board BIOS utility of the card.
DIAGNOSTICS
The adapter can send status and alert messages asynchronously to the driver. These messages are printed on the system console.

AUTHORS
Mike Smith <msmith@freebsd.org> and Scott Long <scottl@freebsd.org> wrote the aac driver for FreeBSD, and Andrew Doran <ad@netbsd.org> ported it to NetBSD.
BUGS
This driver is not compatible with controllers that have version 1.x firmware. The firmware version is the same as the kernel version printed in the BIOS POST and driver attach messages. NetBSD 1.6 April 26, 2002 1
