| depends on PCI && SCSI | |
| ---help--- | |
| LSI Logic Fusion(TM) Message Passing Technology (MPT) device support | |
| provides high performance SCSI host initiator, and LAN [1] interface | |
| services to a host system. The Fusion architecture is capable of | |
| duplexing these protocols on high-speed Fibre Channel | |
| (up to 2 GHz x 2 ports = 4 GHz) and parallel SCSI (up to Ultra-320) | |
| physical medium. | |
| [1] LAN is not supported on parallel SCSI medium. | |
| config FUSION_MAX_SGE | |
| int "Maximum number of scatter gather entries" | |
| depends on FUSION | |
| default "40" | |
| help | |
| This option allows you to specify the maximum number of scatter- | |
| gather entries per I/O. The driver defaults to 40, a reasonable number | |
| for most systems. However, the user may increase this up to 128. | |
| Increasing this parameter will require significantly more memory | |
| on a per controller instance. Increasing the parameter is not | |
| necessary (or recommended) unless the user will be running | |
| large I/O's via the raw interface. | |
| config FUSION_CTL | |
| tristate "Fusion MPT misc device (ioctl) driver" | |
| depends on FUSION | |
| ---help--- | |
| The Fusion MPT misc device driver provides specialized control | |
| of MPT adapters via system ioctl calls. Use of ioctl calls to | |
| the MPT driver requires that you create and use a misc device | |
| node ala: | |
| mknod /dev/mptctl c 10 240 | |
| One use of this ioctl interface is to perform an upgrade (reflash) | |
| of the MPT adapter firmware. Refer to readme file(s) distributed | |
| with the Fusion MPT linux driver for additional details. | |
| If enabled by saying M to this, a driver named: mptctl | |
| will be compiled. | |
| If unsure whether you really want or need this, say N. | |
| config FUSION_LAN | |
| tristate "Fusion MPT LAN driver" | |
| depends on FUSION && NET_FC | |
| ---help--- | |
| This module supports LAN IP traffic over Fibre Channel port(s) | |
| on Fusion MPT compatible hardware (LSIFC9xx chips). | |
| The physical interface used is defined in RFC 2625. | |
| Please refer to that document for details. | |
| Installing this driver requires the knowledge to configure and | |
| activate a new network interface, "fc0", using standard Linux tools. | |
| If enabled by saying M to this, a driver named: mptlan | |
| will be compiled. | |
| If unsure whether you really want or need this, say N. | |
