+.Sh NAME
+.Nm aac
+.Nd Adaptec AdvancedRAID Controller driver
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+To compile this driver into the kernel,
+place the following lines in your
+kernel configuration file:
+.Bd -ragged -offset indent
+.Cd device pci
+.Cd device aac
+.Cd device aacp
+.Pp
+To compile in debugging code:
+.Cd options AAC_DEBUG=N
+.Ed
+.Pp
+Alternatively, to load the driver as a
+module at boot time, place the following line in
+.Xr loader.conf 5 :
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+aac_load="YES"
+.Ed
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+driver provides support for the Adaptec AAC family of SCSI Ultra2, Ultra160,
+and Ultra320, SATA and SAS RAID controllers.
+.Pp
+Access to RAID containers is available via the
+.Pa /dev/aacd?
+device nodes.
+The
+.Nm aacp
+device enables the SCSI pass-thru interface and allows devices connected
+to the card such as CD-ROMs to be available via the CAM
+.Xr scsi 4
+subsystem.
+Note that not all cards allow this interface to be enabled.
+.Pp
+The
+.Pa /dev/aac?
+device nodes provide access to the management interface of the controller.
+One node exists per installed card.
+The aliases
+.Pa /dev/afa?
+and
+.Pa /dev/hpn?
+exist for compatibility with the Dell and HP versions of management tools,
+respectively.
+If the kernel is compiled with the
+.Dv COMPAT_LINUX
+option, or the
+.Pa aac_linux.ko
+and
+.Pa linux.ko
+modules are loaded, the
+Linux-compatible
+.Xr ioctl 2
+interface for the management device will be enabled and will allow
+Linux-based management applications to control the card.
+.Ss Tuning
+The read-only sysctl
+.Va hw.aac.iosize_max
+defaults to 65536 and may be set at boot time to another value via
+.Xr loader 8 .
+This value determines the maximum data transfer size allowed
+to/from an array.
+Setting it higher will result in better performance,
+especially for large sequential access patterns.
+.Em Beware :
+internal limitations
+of the card limit this value to 64K for arrays with many members.
+While it may be safe to raise this value, this is done
+.Em at the operator's own risk .
+Note also that
+performance peaks at a value of 96K,
+and drops off dramatically at 128K,
+due to other limitations of the card.

+.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
+Compiling with

+set to a number between 0 and 3
+will enable increasingly verbose debug messages.
+.Pp
+The adapter can send status and alert messages asynchronously
+to the driver.
+These messages are printed on the system console,
+and are also queued for retrieval by a management application.

+This driver is not compatible with Dell controllers that have version 1.x

+The firmware version is the same as the kernel version printed in the BIOS
+POST and driver attach messages.
+.Pp
+The controller is not actually paused on suspend/resume.
