.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
.B hpsa
|
|
|
|
is a SCSI driver for HP Smart Array RAID controllers.
|
2011-09-08 23:08:47 +00:00
|
|
|
.SS Options
|
|
|
|
.IR "hpsa_allow_any=1" :
|
2011-09-08 22:54:02 +00:00
|
|
|
This option allows the driver to attempt to operate on
|
2011-09-21 02:20:40 +00:00
|
|
|
any HP Smart Array hardware RAID controller,
|
|
|
|
even if it is not explicitly known to the driver.
|
|
|
|
This allows newer hardware to work with older drivers.
|
|
|
|
Typically this is used to allow installation of
|
2011-09-22 03:11:57 +00:00
|
|
|
operating systems from media that predates the
|
2011-09-21 02:20:40 +00:00
|
|
|
RAID controller, though it may also be used to enable
|
|
|
|
.B hpsa
|
|
|
|
to drive older controllers that would normally be handled by the
|
2011-09-08 23:08:47 +00:00
|
|
|
.BR cciss (4)
|
|
|
|
driver.
|
|
|
|
These older boards have not been tested and are
|
|
|
|
not supported with
|
|
|
|
.BR hpsa ,
|
|
|
|
and
|
|
|
|
.BR cciss (4)
|
|
|
|
should still be used for these.

.SS Configuration Details
|
2011-09-22 03:11:57 +00:00
|
|
|
To configure HP Smart Array controllers,
|
|
|
|
use the HP Array Configuration Utility (either
|
2011-09-21 02:20:40 +00:00
|
|
|
.BR hpacuxe (8)
|
|
|
|
or
|
|
|
|
.BR hpacucli (8))
|
|
|
|
or the Offline ROM-based Configuration Utility (ORCA)
|
2011-09-08 22:54:02 +00:00
|
|
|
run from the Smart Array's option ROM at boot time.

Logical drives are accessed via the SCSI disk driver

|
and
|
|
|
|
the RAID controller via the SCSI generic driver
|

.RB ( sg (4)),
|
|
|
|
with device nodes named

|

.I /sys/class/scsi_host/host*/rescan
|
2011-09-21 02:20:40 +00:00
|
|
|
This is a write-only attribute.
|
2011-09-22 03:11:57 +00:00
|
|
|
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 drives, etc.)
|
|
|
|
and notify the SCSI midlayer of any changes detected.
|
2011-09-21 02:20:40 +00:00
|
|
|
Normally a rescan is triggered automatically
|
|
|
|
by HP's Array Configuration Utility (either the GUI or the
|
|
|
|
command-line variety);
|
|
|
|
thus, for logical drive changes, the user should not
|
|
|
|
normally have to use this attribute.
|
|
|
|
This attribute may be useful when hot plugging devices like tape drives,
|
|
|
|
or entire storage boxes containing pre-configured logical drives.

.SS Supported ioctl() operations

|
|
|
For compatibility with applications written for the
|
|
|
|
.BR cciss (4)
|
|
|
|
driver, many, but
|
|
|
|
not all of the ioctls supported by the
|
|
|
|
.BR cciss (4)
|
|
|
|
driver are also supported by the
|
|
|
|
.B hpsa
|
|
|
|
driver.
|
|
|
|
The data structures used by these ioctls are described in
|
2011-09-08 23:08:47 +00:00

|
2011-09-21 02:20:40 +00:00

|
These three ioctls all do exactly the same thing,
|
2011-09-08 23:08:47 +00:00
|
|
|
which is to cause the driver to rescan for new devices.
|
|
|
|
This does exactly the same thing as writing to the

|
hpsa-specific host "rescan" attribute.
