amr
— MegaRAID
SCSI/ATA/SATA RAID driver
To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your kernel configuration file:
device pci
device scbus
device amr
Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5):
amr_load="YES"
The amr
driver provides support for LSI
Logic MegaRAID SCSI, ATA and SATA RAID controllers and legacy American
Megatrends MegaRAID SCSI RAID controllers, including models relabeled and
sold by Dell and Hewlett-Packard.
LSI MegaRAID SAS controllers are supported by mfi(4) and will not work with this driver.
Controllers supported by the amr
driver
include:
The PCI BIOS did not allocate resources necessary for the correct operation of the controller. The driver cannot attach to this controller.
The PCI BIOS did not enable busmaster DMA, which is required for the correct operation of the controller. The driver has enabled this bit and initialisation will proceed.
A resource allocation error occurred while initialising the driver; initialisation has failed and the driver will not attach to this controller.
The driver was unable to obtain vital configuration data from the controller. Initialisation has failed and the driver will not attach to this controller.
The scan for logical drives managed by the controller failed. No drives will be attached.
Creation of the logical drive instances failed; attachment of one or more logical drives may have been aborted.
The controller cache is being flushed prior to shutdown or detach.
A partitioning error or disk corruption has caused an I/O request beyond the end of the logical drive. This may also occur if FlexRAID Virtual Sizing is enabled and an I/O operation is attempted on a portion of the virtual drive beyond the actual capacity available.
An initialisation command timed out. The initialisation process may fail as a result.
The controller reported completion of a command that the driver did not issue. This may result in data corruption, and suggests a hardware or firmware problem with the system or controller.
An I/O error has occurred.
