NAME

adp- low-level module for controllers based on Adaptec AIC-7870P and AIC-7880P SCSI chips

DESCRIPTION

The adp module provides low-level interface routines between the common disk/tape I/O system and SCSI (Small Computer System Interface) controllers based on the Adaptec AIC-7870P and AIC-7880P SCSI chips. These controllers include the Adaptec 2940, 2940W, 2940U, 2940UW, 3940, and 3940W, as well as motherboards with embedded AIC-7870P and AIC-7880P SCSI chips.

The complete list of support devices (see NOTES) is:

AIC-7560	AIC-7870	AIC-7881
AIC-7850	AIC-7871	AIC-7882
AIC-7855	AIC-7872	AIC-7884
AIC-7860	AIC-7874	AIC-7885
AIC-7861	AIC-7875
AIC-7862	AIC-7880

The adp module can be configured for disk and streaming tape support for one or more host adapter boards, each of which must be the sole initiator on a SCSI bus. Auto-configuration code determines if the adapter is present at the configured address and what types of devices are attached to the adapter.

NOTES

Throughout the release, support of additional devices may be added. See the in the Information Library for Solaris 2.6 (Intel Platform Edition) for additional information.

The adp driver supports LUN (Logical Unit Number) values of 0 through 15, this is beyond the standard SCSI-2 requirements which call for support of LUNs 0 through 7.
