NAME
       dpt - DPT ServeRAID IV SCSI host bus adapter and RAID adapter driver

DESCRIPTION
       The dpt driver is a driver for the DPT (Distributed Processing Technol‐
       ogy) family of SmartRAID IV SCSI HBA and RAID adapters.	The  following
       HBA adapters are supported: PM2024, PM2044UW, PM2044W, PM2124, PM2124W,
       PM2144UW, and PM2144W.

       The following RAID adapters are supported: PM3224,  PM3224W,  PM3334UW,
       and PM3334W.

PRECONFIGURE
	 ·  DPT PM3224 only: Only EPROM 7A and later versions are supported.

	 ·  DPT	 PM2024 and PM2124 only: Only EPROM 6D4 and later versions are
	    supported.

	 ·  Use adapters with SmartROM version 3.B or later versions only.

	 ·  Be sure that the controller board is installed in a	 PCI  bus-mas‐
	    tering slot.

	 ·  Disable  PCI  parity  checking if your firmware version is earlier
	    than version 7A, if your system memory is ECC, or if  your	system
	    does not check parity.

   Known Problems and Limitations
       During  system boot, a message may be displayed saying a DPT controller
       driver cannot be installed. This message indicates that the motherboard
       installed  in  your system may contain ECC memory or may not check par‐
       ity. If you see this message is displayed, disable PCI parity checking.

   Supported Settings
	 ·  I/O Address: Auto

CONFIGURATION
       Auto-configuration code determines whether the adapter  is  present  at
       the  configured	address	 and what types of devices are attached to it.
       The DPT ServeRAID is primarily used as a disk array (system drive) con‐
       troller.

       To  configure  the  attached  disk  arrays, you must configure the con‐
       troller (using the configuration utilities  provided  by	 the  hardware
       manufacturer)  before  you  boot the Solaris operating environment. You
       use the configuration utilities to set RAID levels, stripe  parameters,
       cache mechanisms and perform other functions. For more information, see
       the user manual supplied with your hardware.
