NAME

       hptmv — HighPoint RocketRAID 182x device driver

SYNOPSIS

       To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following line in your kernel configuration file:

             device hptmv

       Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5):

             hptmv_load="YES"

DESCRIPTION

       The hptmv driver provides support for HighPoint's RocketRAID 182x based RAID controller.

       These  devices  support  ATA  disk  drives  and  provide  RAID0  (striping), RAID1 (mirroring), and RAID5
       functionality.

HARDWARE

       The hptmv driver supports the following ATA RAID controllers:

       •   HighPoint's RocketRAID 182x series

NOTES

       The hptmv driver only works on the i386 and amd64 platforms as it requires a binary blob object from  the
       manufacturer  which  they  only  supply for these platforms.  The hptmv driver does not work on i386 with
       pae(4) enabled.

BUGS

       The hptmv driver does not support manipulating the RAID from the OS, RAIDs need to be set up from the on-
       board BIOS.
