isp -- Qlogic based SCSI and FibreChannel SCSI Host Adapters
device isp
For one or more SCSI busses:
device scbus0
This driver provides access to SCSI or FibreChannel devices.
SCSI features include support for Ultra SCSI and wide mode transactions
for SCSI, Ultra2 LVD (for the ISP1080 and ISP1280), and Ultra3 LVD (for
the ISP12160).
Fibre Channel support uses FCP SCSI profile for FibreChannel. and utilizes
Class 3 and Class 2 connections (Qlogic 2100 is Class 3 only, minor
patches to the Qlogic 2200 to force Class 2 mode). Support is available
for Public and Private loops, and for point-to-point connections (Qlogic
2200 only). The newer 2-Gigabit cards (2300, 2312) are also supported.
Command tagging is supported for all (in fact, FibreChannel requires tagging).
Fabric support is enabled by default (but may be contingent upon
the correct firmware being loaded).
Firmware is now available if the ispfw(4) module is loaded during bootstrap
(q.v.).
It is very strongly recommended that you use the firmware available from
ispfw(4) as it is the most likely to have been tested with this driver.

CONFIGURATION OPTIONS [Toc] [Back] Target mode support may be enabled with the
options ISP_TARGET_MODE
option.
The following options are switchable by setting values in the loader configuration
file (see the loader(8) manual page). They are:
isp_disable A bit mask of units to skip configuration for.
isp_mem_map A bit mask of units to use PCI Memory space instead of I/O
space access for.
isp_io_map A bit mask of units to use PCI I/O space instead of Memory
space access for.
isp_no_nvram A bit mask of units that you wish to ignore board NVRAM
settings for.
isp_nvram A bit mask of units that you wish to specifically use
board NVRAM settings for.
isp_fcduplex A bit mask of units that you wish to specifically to set
into full duplex mode.
isp_no_fcduplex
A bit mask of units that you wish to specifically to not
set into full duplex mode.
isp_wwn This should be the full 64 bit World Wide Node Name you
would like to use, overriding the value in NVRAM for the
card.
isp_debug This is a driver debug level- meaningful from 0 through 7.
isp_tdebug This is a driver target mode debug level- meaningful from
0 through 5.
The driver currently ignores some NVRAM settings.
The driver currently doesn't do error recovery for timed out commands
very gracefully.
Target mode support isn't completely debugged yet. It works reasonably
well for Fibre Channel, somewhat well for Qlogic 1040 cards, but doesn't
yet work for the other cards (due to last minute unannounced changes in
firmware interfaces).
Sometimes, when booting, the driver gets stuck waiting for the Fibre
Channel f/w to tell it that the loop port database is ready, or waiting
for a good loop to be seen (this does not yet support booting without
being connected to a fibre channel device). To unwedge the system,
unplug and replug the fibre channel connection, or otherwise cause a LIP
(Loop Initialization Primitive sequence)- this will kick the f/w into
getting unstuck.
