*  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  * SAS BIOS *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *

A SAS BIOS is the bootable ROM code that manages SAS hardware resources. It is 
specific to a family of LSI Corporation Fusion-MPT SAS controllers or 
processors. A Fusion-MPT SAS BIOS integrates with a standard system BIOS, 
extending the standard disk service routine provided through INT13h.

During the boot time initialization, the SAS BIOS determines if there are other 
hard disks, such as an IDE drive, already installed by the system BIOS.  If 
there are, the SAS BIOS maps any SAS or SATA drives it finds behind the drive(s)
already installed. Otherwise, the SAS BIOS installs drives starting with the
system boot drive. In this case, the system boots from a drive controlled by
the SAS BIOS. The LSI Corporation SAS BIOS supports the 
BIOS Boot Specification (BBS).

The next section, "Boot Initialization with BIOS Boot Specification (BBS),"
discusses selecting boot and drive order.


*  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  * Features *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *

The Fusion-MPT SAS BIOS features include:

o Configuration for up to 256 adapters-any 4 can be chosen for
  INT13 (bottom) support

o Support for Message Passing Technology

o Support for the LSI53C1064 device
o Support for the LSI53C1064e device

o Support for the LSI53C1066 device

o Support for the LSI53C1068 device
o Support for the LSI53C1068e device

o Support for the LSI53C1078 device

o Support for SAS and SATA devices

o Support for Integrated RAID initialization (with proper firmware)


*  *  *  *  Boot Initialization with BIOS Boot Specification (BBS) *  *  *

The Fusion-MPT SAS BIOS provides support for the BIOS Boot Specification 
(BBS), which allows you to choose which device to boot from by selecting the 
priority.

To use this feature, the system BIOS must also be compatible with the BBS. If
your system supports the BBS, then you will use the system BIOS setup menu to
select the boot and drive order. In the system BIOS setup, the Boot Connection
Devices menu appears with a list of available boot options. Use that menu to
select the device and rearrange the order. Then exit to continue the boot
process.


*  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  * CD-ROM Boot Initialization *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *

The Fusion-MPT SAS BIOS supports boot initialization from a CD-ROM drive.
The five types of emulation are:

     o No emulation disk
     o Floppy 1.2 Mbyte emulation disk
     o Floppy 1.44 Mbyte emulation disk
     o Floppy 2.88 Mbyte emulation disk
     o Hard disk emulation

The type of emulation assigns the drive letter for the CD-ROM. For example,
if a 1.44 Mbyte floppy emulation CD was loaded, then the CD-ROM drive would
become the designated A: drive, and the existing floppy would become drive B:.


*  *  *  *  *  * Starting the SAS BIOS Configuration Utility *  *  *  *  *  *

If you have SAS BIOS version 6.XX, and it includes the Fusion-MPT SAS BIOS
Configuration Utility, you can change the default configuration of your SAS host
adapters. You may decide to alter these default values if there is a conflict
between device settings or if you need to optimize system performance.

You can see the version number of the SAS BIOS in a banner displayed on your 
computer monitor during boot. If the utility is available, this message
also appears on your monitor:

     Press Ctrl-C to start LSI Corp Configuration Utility...

This message remains on your screen for about five seconds, giving you time
to start the utility. If you decide to press "Ctrl-C", the message changes
to:

     Please wait, invoking SAS Configuration Utility...

After a brief pause, your computer monitor displays the Main Menu of the
Fusion-MPT PCI SAS BIOS Configuration Utility.


These messages may appear during the boot process:

1.  "Adapter removed from boot order!" appears when an adapter is removed from
    the system or relocated behind a PCI bridge.

2.  "Adapter configuration may have changed, reconfiguration is suggested!" 
    appears if at least one adapter is not included in the boot order and
    there are less than 4 adapters in the system.

3.  "Updating Adapter List!" appears when less than four adapters are in the
    boot order and more adapters exist than are shown.

IMPORTANT: The SAS BIOS Configuration Utility is a powerful tool. If, while
           using it, you somehow disable all of your controllers, pressing
           Ctrl-A (or Ctrl-E on version 5.00 or later) after memory
           initialization during reboot allows you to re-enable and
           reconfigure.

     Note: Not all devices detected by the Configuration Utility can be
           controlled by the BIOS. Devices such as tape drives and scanners
           require that a device driver specific to that peripheral be 
           loaded. The SAS BIOS Configuration Utility does allow parameters 
           to be modified for these devices.

Status

   Indicates whether an adapter is eligible for LSI Corporation software control
   or is reserved for control by non-LSI Corporation software 
   (Enabled, Disabled, Error).

   Enabled indicates the BIOS is either currently controlling the adapter
   or will attempt to control the adapter upon reload.

   Disabled indicates the BIOS is either not controlling the adapter or
   will discontinue control of the adapter upon reload.

   Whether Enabled or Disabled, the user will still be able to view and
   modify settings for the adapter.  The Boot Support setting in the Adapter
   Properties menu can be used to change the status of this setting.  The
   BIOS must be reloaded (e.g., system rebooted) in order for a new Boot
   Support setting to take effect.

   Error indicates that the BIOS encountered a problem with the adapter.
   Viewing and modifying settings for the adapter is allowed but the
   information and functionality available may be limited.

Boot Order

   The Boot Order specifies the order in which adapters will boot when
   more than one adapter is in a system. Up to four of the total
   adapters in a system may be selected as bootable.

   To add an adapter to the boot list, press Insert while on the Boot Order
   field. To remove an adapter from the boot list, press Delete while on
   the desired adapter's Boot Order field. The -/+ keys can be used to change
   the adapter's position in the Boot Order.

*   *   * Field Descriptions *   *   *

Adapter

   Indicates the specific LSI Corporation SAS controller type.

PCI Slot

   Indicates the PCI Slot the controller is located in.

PCI Address

   Displays the PCI Address assigned by the system BIOS to the adapter.
       Bus value has range 0x00 - 0xFF, 0 - 255 decimal.
       Device value has range  0x00 - 0x1F, 0 - 31 decimal.
       Function has range 0x00 - 0x7, 0 - 7 decimal.

FW Revision

   Displays the Fusion MPT Firmware version and type (IR or IT)

SAS Address

   Displays the SAS Address assigned to this adapter.

Status

   Indicates whether an adapter is eligible for LSI Corporation software control
   or is reserved for control by non-LSI Corporation software (Enabled, 
   Disabled, Error).

   Enabled indicates the BIOS is either currently controlling the adapter
   or will attempt to control the adapter upon reload.

   Disabled indicates the BIOS is either not controlling the adapter or
   will discontinue control of the adapter upon reload.

   Whether Enabled or Disabled, the user will still be able to view and
   modify settings for the adapter.  The Boot Support setting in the Adapter
   Properties menu can be used to change the status of this setting.  The
   BIOS must be reloaded (e.g., system rebooted) in order for a new Boot
   Support setting to take effect.

   Error indicates that the BIOS encountered a problem with the adapter.
   Viewing and modifying settings for the adapter is allowed but the
   information and functionality available may be limited.

Boot Order

   The Boot Order specifies the order in which adapters will boot when
   more than one adapter is in a system. Up to four of the total
   adapters in a system may be selected as bootable.

Boot Support

   Specifies whether an adapter is eligible for LSI Corporation software control
   or is reserved for control by non-LSI Corporation software 
   (Enabled BIOS & OS, Enabled BIOS Only, Enabled OS Only, Disabled, 
   default: Enabled BIOS & OS).
     If Enabled BIOS & OS, then both the bios and OS driver will control the
   adapter.
     If Enabled BIOS Only, then the adapter will be controlled by the bios,
   but OS drivers will not control it.  This setting may not be supported by
   all OS drivers, for example there is no means to disable an adapter in a
   Windows driver.
     If Enabled OS Only, then the bios will not control the adapter but the
   OS driver will control the adapter.
     If Disabled, then the bios will not control the adapter when loaded.
   However, the adapter will still be visible through the Configuration
   Protocol.
     Changes to this setting will be reflected in the Status field on the
   main Adapter List menu.  The new setting will not take effect until the
   bios is reloaded (e.g., system rebooted).


*  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  SAS Topology *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *

Maximum INT 13h Devices for this adapter

   This field specifies the maximum number of devices attached to the
   adapter for which to install a pre-OS IO interface.  The specified
   number of devices in the adapter's device scan order list will have
   an IO interface installed.  An installed IO interface is defined as
   INT 13H.

   X86 platforms allow a maximum of 24 INT 13h devices per system. Therefore,
   fewer than the specified number of INT 13h devices may be installed.  The
   defaults for X86 is 24 devices with a range of 0-24 allowed.

*   *   * Field Descriptions *   *   *

Array Type

   Indicates the type of array being created.
   
Array Size

   Indicates the size of the array in Megabytes.
   
Slot Num

   This field displays the order in which devices are scanned.

Device Identifier

   This field is the device identifier.
   
RAID Disk

   Specifies the devices (disks) that make up a RAID array (Yes, No, default 
   NO).

   If Yes, the device is part of a RAID array.
   If No, the device is not part of a RAID array.

   This field is grayed out under the following conditions:
   - the device does not meet the minimum requirements for use in a RAID array
   - the device is not large enough to mirror existing data on the primary drive
   - this disk has been selected as a Hot Spare for the RAID array

Hot Spr

   Specifies whether a device is a Hot Spare for a RAID array (Yes, No, 
   default NO).
   If Yes, the device will be used as a Hot Spare for the RAID array.
   If No, the device will not be used as a Hot Spare for the RAID array.
   Notes:
   - Up to two Hot Spares per controller are permitted.
   - RAID Arrays do not require a Hot Spare.
   - A Hot Spare can be specified at array creation or any time after creation 
     provided the array is made up of 9 disks or fewer.

   This field is grayed out under the following conditions:
   - the device does not meet the minimum requirements for use in a RAID array
   - the array already has the maximum number of Hot Spares
   - the array is made up of the maximum number of devices (10)
   - the device isn't large enough to mirror existing data on the primary
   - Integrated Striping has been selected. Hot Spares are not supported for 
     striped arrays.

Drive Status

   Ok              Disk is online and fully functional
   Missing         Disk is not responding
   Failed          Disk has failed
   Initing         Disk is initializing
   CfgOffln        Disk is offline at host's request
   UserFail        Disk is marked failed at host's request
   Offline         Disk is offline for some other reason
   Inactive        Disk has been set inactive
   Not Syncd       Data on disk is not synchronized with the rest of the array
   Primary         Disk is the primary disk for a 2 disk mirror  and is OK
   Secondary       Disk is the secondary disk for a 2 disk mirror and is OK
   Wrg Type        Device is not compatible for use as part of an RAID Array
   Too Small       Disk is too small to mirror existing data
   Max Dsks        Maximum # of disks allowed for this type of Array reached
                   Maximum # of total IR disks on a controller reached
   No SMART        Disk doesn't support SMART, cannot be used in an RAID array
   Wrg Intfc       Device interface (SAS/SATA) differs from existing IR disks 

Pred Fail

   Indicates whether device SMART is predicting device failure (Yes, No).

Size(MB)

   Indicates the size of the device in megabytes (where a megabyte is
   (1024 x 1024) = 1,048,576).
   
   If the device is part of a two-disk array, this field will reflect the size
   of the array - not the size of the individual disk.
   
   If the device is part of a three or more disk array, this field is the size
   that the disk makes up within the array.
   
   NOTE: When creating a striped array, the usable size of the array is
   determined by the Number of drives X Size of the smallest drive in the
   array. In arrays consisting of different sized drives, excess space on
   larger drives will be unusable.
