1 This driver is for Compaq's SMART2 Intelligent Disk Array Controllers. 2 3 Supported Cards: 4 ---------------- 5 6 This driver is known to work with the following cards: 7 8 * SMART (EISA) 9 * SMART-2/E (EISA) 10 * SMART-2/P 11 * SMART-2DH 12 * SMART-2SL 13 * SMART-221 14 * SMART-3100ES 15 * SMART-3200 16 * Integrated Smart Array Controller 17 * SA 4200 18 * SA 4250ES 19 * SA 431 20 * RAID LC2 Controller 21 22 It should also work with some really old Disk array adapters, but I am 23 unable to test against these cards: 24 25 * IDA 26 * IDA-2 27 * IAES 28 29 30 EISA Controllers: 31 ----------------- 32 33 If you want to use an EISA controller you'll have to supply some 34 modprobe/lilo parameters. If the driver is compiled into the kernel, must 35 give it the controller's IO port address at boot time (it is not 36 necessary to specify the IRQ). For example, if you had two SMART-2/E 37 controllers, in EISA slots 1 and 2 you'd give it a boot argument like 38 this: 39 40 smart2=0x1000,0x2000 41 42 If you were loading the driver as a module, you'd give load it like this: 43 44 modprobe cpqarray eisa=0x1000,0x2000 45 46 You can use EISA and PCI adapters at the same time. 47 48 49 Device Naming: 50 -------------- 51 52 You need some entries in /dev for the ida device. MAKEDEV in the /dev 53 directory can make device nodes for you automatically. The device setup is 54 as follows: 55 56 Major numbers: 57 72 ida0 58 73 ida1 59 74 ida2 60 75 ida3 61 76 ida4 62 77 ida5 63 78 ida6 64 79 ida7 65 66 Minor numbers: 67 b7 b6 b5 b4 b3 b2 b1 b0 68 |----+----| |----+----| 69 | | 70 | +-------- Partition ID (0=wholedev, 1-15 partition) 71 | 72 +-------------------- Logical Volume number 73 74 The device naming scheme is: 75 /dev/ida/c0d0 Controller 0, disk 0, whole device 76 /dev/ida/c0d0p1 Controller 0, disk 0, partition 1 77 /dev/ida/c0d0p2 Controller 0, disk 0, partition 2 78 /dev/ida/c0d0p3 Controller 0, disk 0, partition 3 79 80 /dev/ida/c1d1 Controller 1, disk 1, whole device 81 /dev/ida/c1d1p1 Controller 1, disk 1, partition 1 82 /dev/ida/c1d1p2 Controller 1, disk 1, partition 2 83 /dev/ida/c1d1p3 Controller 1, disk 1, partition 3 84 85 86 Changelog: 87 ========== 88 89 10-28-2004 : General cleanup, syntax fixes for in-kernel driver version. 90 James Nelson <james4765@gmail.com> 91 92 93 1999 : Original Document
