SYNOPSIS
To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your
kernel configuration file:
device scbus
device isp

following lines in loader.conf(5):
isp_load="YES"
isp_1040_load="YES"
isp_1040_it_load="YES"
isp_1080_load="YES"
isp_1080_it_load="YES"
isp_12160_load="YES"

DESCRIPTION
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,
2322) and 4-Gigabit (2422, 2432) are also supported. Command tagging is
supported for all (in fact, FibreChannel requires tagging). Fabric
support is enabled by default for other than 2100 cards. Fabric support
for 2100 cards has been so problematic and these cards are so old now
that it is just not worth your time to try it.
FIRMWARE
Firmware is available if the appropriate firmware module is loaded during
bootstrap (see ispfw(4)).
It is strongly recommended that you use the firmware supplied with
DragonFly as it is the most likely to have been tested with this driver.

CONFIGURATION OPTIONS
Target mode support may be enabled with the
options ISP_TARGET_MODE
option.
BOOT OPTIONS
The following options are switchable by setting values in
/boot/device.hints.
They are:
hint.isp.0.disable
A hint value to disable driver in kernel.
hint.isp.0.fwload_disable
A hint value to disable loading of firmware ispfw(4).
hint.isp.0.prefer_memmap
A hint value to use PCI memory space instead of I/O space access
for.
hint.isp.0.prefer_iomap
A hint value to use PCI I/O space instead of Memory space access
for.
hint.isp.0.ignore_nvram
A hint value to ignore board NVRAM settings for. Otherwise use
NVRAM settings.
hint.isp.0.fullduplex
A hint value to set full duplex mode.
hint.isp.0.topology
A hint value to select topology of connection. Supported values
are:
lport Prefer loopback and fallback to point to point.
nport Prefer point to point and fallback to loopback.
lport-only Loopback only.
nport-only Point to point only.
hint.isp.0.portwwn
This should be the full 64 bit World Wide Port Name you would
like to use, overriding the value in NVRAM for the card.
hint.isp.0.nodewwn
This should be the full 64 bit World Wide Node Name you would
like to use, overriding the value in NVRAM for the card.
hint.isp.0.iid
A hint to override or set the Initiator ID or Loop ID. For Fibre
Channel cards in Local Loop topologies it is strongly recommended
that you set this value to non-zero.
hint.isp.0.role
A hint to define default role for isp instance (target,
initiator, both).
hint.isp.0.debug
A hint value for a driver debug level (see the file
/usr/src/sys/dev/isp/ispvar.h for the values.
By default, the driver will use MSI if it is supported. This behavior
can be turned off by setting the following tunable:
hw.isp.msi.enable=0
SYSCTL OPTIONS
dev.isp.N.loop_down_limit
This value says how long to wait in seconds after loop has gone
down before giving up and expiring all of the devices that were
visible. The default is 300 seconds (5 minutes). A separate
(nonadjustable) timeout is used when booting to not stop booting
on lack of FC connectivity.
dev.isp.N.gone_device_time
This value says how long to wait for devices to reappear if they
(temporarily) disappear due to loop or fabric events. While this
timeout is running, I/O to those devices will simply be held.
dev.isp.N.wwnn
This is the readonly World Wide Node Name value for this port.
dev.isp.N.wwpn
This is the readonly World Wide Port Name value for this port.

AUTHORS
The isp driver was written by Matthew Jacob originally for NetBSD at
NASA/Ames Research Center.
BUGS
The driver currently ignores some NVRAM settings.
Target mode support is not completely reliable yet. It works reasonably
well for Fibre Channel, somewhat well for Qlogic 1040 cards, but does not
yet work for the other cards (due to last minute unannounced changes in
firmware interfaces).
