MFI(4) FreeBSD Kernel Interfaces Manual MFI(4) NAME mfi -- LSI MegaRAID SAS driver SYNOPSIS To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your kernel configuration file: device pci device mfi Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5): mfi_load="YES" DESCRIPTION This driver is for LSI's next generation PCI Express SAS RAID con- trollers. Access to RAID arrays (logical disks) from this driver is pro- vided via /dev/mfid? device nodes. A simple management interface is also provided on a per-controller basis via the /dev/mfi? device node. The mfi name is derived from the phrase "MegaRAID Firmware Interface", which is substantially different than the old "MegaRAID" interface and thus requires a new driver. Older SCSI and SATA MegaRAID cards are sup- ported by amr(4) and will not work with this driver. HARDWARE The mfi driver supports the following hardware: +o LSI MegaRAID SAS 8408E +o LSI MegaRAID SAS 8480E +o Dell PERC5/i FILES /dev/mfid? array/logical disk interface /dev/mfi? management interface SEE ALSO amr(4), pci(4) HISTORY The mfi driver first appeared in FreeBSD 7.0. AUTHORS The mfi driver and this manual page were written by Scott Long <scottl@FreeBSD.org>. BUGS The driver does not support big-endian architectures at this time.
