💖 ADW(4) — NAME 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to ADW(4) from the kernel interfaces manual — this is the page for adw, aka the ConnectCom Solutions AdvanSys PCI Ultra Wide SCSI host adapter driver. SCSI host adapter support, kernel options, and zero boring filler. 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

adw* at pci? dev ? function ?
scsibus* at adw?

options FAILSAFE
options SCSI_ADW_WDTR_DISABLE=mask
options SCSI_ADW_SDTR_DISABLE=mask
options SCSI_ADW_TAGQ_DISABLE=mask

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

The adw driver provides support for the ADW (AdvanSys) ABP-940UW, ASB-3940UW, ASB-3940U2W SCSI host adapters. Iconic hardware list, no notes. ✨

🎀 kernel configuration options 🎀

The following kernel configuration options are available:

  • options FAILSAFE — disables tagged command queuing, wide data transfers and synchronous data transfers for all SCSI devices controlled by the adw driver. By default, tagged command queuing, wide data transfers and synchronous data transfers are used if the SCSI devices support them. So yeah, this is the “chill out, no fancy stuff” switch. 💖

The following options use a mask to specify which SCSI peripherals the option applies to. The mask is a 16 bit bitfield value. Each bit corresponds to a peripheral ID. The LSB (bit 0) corresponds to the peripheral with ID 0. The MSB (bit 15) corresponds to the peripheral with ID 15. The following features cannot be disabled for the host adapter, which by default has ID 7.

  • options SCSI_ADW_WDTR_DISABLE=mask — disable WIDE data transfer for the peripherals specified by the mask value.
  • options SCSI_ADW_SDTR_DISABLE=mask — disable SYNCHRONOUS data transfer for the peripherals specified by the mask value.
  • options SCSI_ADW_TAGQ_DISABLE=mask — disable TAGGED COMMAND QUEUING for the peripherals specified by the mask value.
