blad -- Adaptec Ultra II SCSI host adapter driver

Description

The blad driver directly supports the following host adapters:

AHA-2940U2W
AHA-2950U2W
AHA-3940U2W
AHA-3950U2
AHA-3950U2B

These Adaptec Ultra II host adapters support 80MB/sec burst throughput.

To determine the support status of your host adapter, contact your system supplier or refer to the Compatible Hardware Web Pages.

Configuring the blad driver

You can configure the blad driver using entries in /etc/conf/cf.d/mdevice and /etc/conf/sdevice.d/blad. See mdevice(F) and sdevice(F). Changes to these files take effect once you relink the kernel using link_unix(ADM) and reboot the system.

Configure blad driver-specific characteristics by editing the /etc/conf/pack.d/blad/space.c file, which controls parameters such as the SCSI ID, I/O port address, scatter/gather, tag queuing and connect/disconnect.
