aac — Adaptec AdvancedRAID Controller driver

       Mike Smith <msmith@FreeBSD.org>

       This driver is not compatible with Dell controllers that have version 1.x firmware.  The firmware version
       is the same as the kernel version printed in the BIOS POST and driver attach messages.

       The controller is not actually paused on suspend/resume.

Debian                                            July 10, 2009                                           AAC(4)

       The  aac  driver provides support for the Adaptec AAC family of SCSI Ultra2, Ultra160, and Ultra320, SATA
       and SAS RAID controllers.

       Access to RAID containers is available via the /dev/aacd? device nodes.  The aacp device enables the SCSI
       pass-thru interface and allows devices connected to the card such as CD-ROMs to be available via the  CAM
       scsi(4) subsystem.  Note that not all cards allow this interface to be enabled.

       The /dev/aac? device nodes provide access to the management interface of the controller.  One node exists
       per  installed  card.   The  aliases /dev/afa? and /dev/hpn? exist for compatibility with the Dell and HP
       versions of management tools, respectively.  If the kernel is compiled with the COMPAT_LINUX  option,  or
       the  aac_linux.ko  and  linux.ko  modules  are  loaded,  the  Linux-compatible ioctl(2) interface for the
       management device will be enabled and will allow Linux-based management applications to control the card.

       Compiling with AAC_DEBUG set to a number between 0 and 3 will enable increasingly verbose debug messages.

       The adapter can send status and alert messages asynchronously to the driver.  These messages are  printed
       on the system console, and are also queued for retrieval by a management application.

       The aac driver first appeared in FreeBSD 4.3.

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

             devicepcideviceaacdeviceaacp

             To compile in debugging code:
             optionsAAC_DEBUG=N

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

             aac_load="YES"
