This file contains information about the LSI Logic EFI 1.1 Fusion-MPT (TM)
Boot Services Driver (BSD) and associated Configuration Utility.
INTRODUCTION
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The EFI Fusion-MPT BIOS is a native IA64 EFI 1.1 Boot Services Driver
that provides pre-OS support for LSI Logic Corporation's line of Fusion-MPT
architecture SCSI and FIbre IO processors. Currently, the LSI53C1020,
LSI53C1020A, LSI53C1030, LSIFC919, LSIFC929, LSIFC919X, and LSIFC929X
are supported. A Boot Services Driver (BSD) is a BIOS for systems based on
Intel Architecture (IA) and the Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI)
Specification
The BSD integrates with EFI system firmware, extending disk services by
installing Block IO (LBA) for all devices and SCSI Pass Thru interfaces
for supported SCSI devices. When a driver is bound to a controller it
detects all supported devices. Block IO interfaces are installed for the
following devices: hard drives, removable media devices, CD-ROMs, Write-once,
andMagneto Optical (MO). Platform firmware can use the driver's services to
boot from any supported device. Normally the services are used to copy
an OS Loader to boot a system, but the services may also be used by an
application or at the EFI Shell. A SCSI Pass Thru interface is installed
for all SCSI devices.
The BSD includes an integrated Configuration Protocol that provides viewing
and editing of static and configurable parameters for supported adapters.
The user is provided with the means to view and change the settings stored
in the non-volatile memory associated with a controller. The Configuration
Protocol is implemented using the EFI Configuration Protocol and can be
invoked using the EFI Shell Command "drvcfg".
FEATURES
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Supports an "unlimited" (256) number of Host Adapter channels (PCI Function).
Supports up to (15 Targets X 8 LUNs) per SCSI channel.
Supports up to (8 Buses X 128 Targets X 8 LUNs) per Fibre Port.
Provides LBA access to device types: hard drives, removable media devices,
CD-ROMs, Write-once, and Magneto Optical (MO). "Other" SCSI devices are detected and
supported via SCSI Pass Thru. SCSI pass thru is not installed for Fibre devices.
Supports media removal and media change for removable media device types.
Supports Fusion-MPT Integrated RAID on SCSI controllers. This includes IO and
configuration support for IR virtual arrays made up of from two to six disks.
Installs the following EFI Protocols for each driver image:
o Driver Binding
o Component Name
o Driver Configuration
Installs the following EFI Protocols for each supported SCSI Host Adapter channel:
o SCSI Pass Thru
Installs the following EFI Protocols for each supported Target/LUN:
o Device Path
o Block I/O
-For details of each protocol implementation, refer to latest the EFI 1.1
specification.
BOOT SERVICES DRIVER
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The LSI Logic EFI Boot Services Driver conforms to the EFI 1.1 Driver
Model specification. Refer to corresponding EFI 1.1 documentation for
further details of this driver model.
* * * * * * Installing the Boot Services Driver * * * * *
To load the driver, the EFI Shell "load" command can be used. From the EFI
shell change to the file system that contains the lsimpt.efi boot services
driver file. This is the same as switching to the desired drive in a DOS prompt
environment.
Once this has been done, use the "load lsimpt.efi" command to load the boot
services driver. The boot services driver detects all compatible LSI Logic
Fusion-MPT devices and install the necessary EFI protocols for these devices
and any compatible devices attached to the bus.
The LSI Logic Boot Services Driver can also be loaded from an option rom
on board a PCI card. The corresponding "lsimpt.rom" file would be used
in this case. This method can be done by loading the lsimpt.rom file
onto the flash part using the LSI Logic EFI Flash Utility. Once this is
done, if a system supports option rom loading, the LSI Logic driver will be
installed by the system at boot time. Once installed, this form of the
driver functions identically to the .efi form of the driver.
CONFIGURATION UTILITY
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
* * * * * * Starting the LSI Logic EFI Setup Utility * * * * *
The LSI Logic Boot Services driver includes the LSI Logic EFI Setup
Utility. With this Utility you can change the default configuration of your
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.
The Utility also allows the user to view/configure Integrated RAID arrays
on host adapters that support this feature.
To make changes with this menu driven utility, one or more LSI Logic host
adapters must have NVRAM (Nonvolatile Random Access Memory) to store the
changes. The Integrated RAID features will be available on host adapters
that have MPT firmware that supports this feature.
The Setup utility is invoked using the EFI 1.1. Configuration Protocol. Please
refer to the latest EFI 1.1 specification for details of this protocol.
To invoke the utility from the EFI shell, the "drvcfg" command can be used.
* * * * * * * Using the Setup Utility * * * * * * * *
* * * Note about using Setup Utility with Terminal Emulation * * *
Please note that the Setup Utility uses several input keys (F1, F2, HOME,
END, etc) that may not be supported by all terminal emulation programs.
Each of these keys has an alternate key that performs the same function.
It is recommended that you check the terminal emulation program documentation
to verify which input keys are supported. If problems occur using any of the
Function keys or HOME/END/PGUP/PGDN it is recommended that the alternate
keys be used.
* * * Screen Format * * *
All LSI Logic Setup Utility screens are partitioned into the fixed
areas. Here is an example:

Adapter Properties menu is invoked by selecting the desired
adapter and pressing the Enter key.
PCI Bus The PCI Bus number (0x00-0xFF) assigned by the System BIOS to
an adapter.
PCI Dev The PCI Device number (0x00-0x1F) assigned by the System BIOS
to an adapter.
PCI Func The PCI Function number (0-7) assigned by the System BIOS to
an adapter.
RAID Alert Indicates whether an invalid or non-optimal RAID condition
exists that requires user resolution (None, ERROR).
None indicates that no alert condition exists.
ERROR indicates that an invalid or non-optimal RAID array
condition exists.
Alert conditions include:
- the active array is not optimal and is not synchronizing
- multiple arrays were detected.
The user must enter the RAID Properties screen to view the
details and resolve the error.
FW The version, in decimal, of the Fusion-MPT Firmware that is
Revision running on an adapter.
Product Indicates the capabilities of the Fusion MPT firmware
(IO,IME,IS,IT, or T).
IO: Fusion MPT firmware has basic Initiator capabilities only.
IME: Fusion MPT firmware has Integrated Mirroring Enhanced
capability.
IS: Fusion MPT firmware has Integrated Striping capability.
IT: Fusion MPT firmware has Initiator/Target capability.
T: Fusion MPT firmware has Target capability (not supported).

LSI Indicates whether an adapter is eligible for LSI Logic software
Control control or is reserved for control by non-LSI Logic software
(Enabled, Disabled, Forbidden).
Enabled indicates the driver is either currently controlling
the adapter or will attempt to control the adapter upon reload.
Disabled indicates the driver 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 driver must be reloaded
(e.g., system rebooted) in order for a new Boot Support setting
to take effect.
Forbidden indicates no access to the controller is available
because a different driver is controlling the adapter or there
was an error initializing the adapter.

* * * Field Descriptions * * *
<Device Properties>
Press Enter to view and modify device properties.
<RAID Properties>
Press Enter to invoke the adapter's RAID Properties menu.
This field is grayed out under the following conditions:
- the adapter's MPT FW does not support the feature
- the setup is not compatible with IME feature, such as an array exists
on the other channel of a dual-channel adapter.
Boot Support
Specifies whether an adapter is eligible for LSI Logic software control or
is reserved for control by non-LSI Logic software (Enabled BIOS & OS,
Enabled BIOS Only, Enabled OS Only, Disabled, default: Enabled BIOS & OS).
If Enabled BIOS & OS, then both the driver and OS driver will control the
adapter.
If Enabled BIOS Only, then the adapter will be controlled by the driver,
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 driver will not control the adapter but the OS
driver will control the adapter.
If Disabled, then the driver 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 LSI Control field on the
main Adapter List menu. The new setting will not take effect until the
driver is reloaded (e.g., system rebooted).
Host SCSI ID
Specifies the SCSI Target identifier of the adapter (0-15, default 7).
It is recommended that this field be set to the highest priority SCSI
identifier, which is 7.
Note: 8-bit SCSI devices cannot see identifiers greater than 7.
Secondary Cluster Server
Specifies whether an adapter has one or more attached devices that are
shared with other adapter(s) (Yes, No, default No).
If Yes, the driver will avoid SCSI Bus resets as much as possible.
Reducing SCSI Bus Resets will optimize performance in a multi-initiator
shared-bus environment. It is recommended that this field be set to Yes
in multi-initiator configurations. This setting is a requirement for
Microsoft Cluster Server.
If No, the driver is free to perform SCSI Bus Resets as needed.
Termination Control
Specifies whether an adapter has automatic termination control, and if so,
its current status (Auto, Off, default: Auto).
If Auto, the adapter automatically determines whether it should enable or
disable its termination.
If Off, termination at the adapter is off - the devices at the ends of the
SCSI bus must terminate the bus.
This field is grayed out when termination is automatic, not programmable.
The ability to modify this setting is determined by the GPIO settings
that are programmed into SEEPROM. To enable the termination setting the
SEEPROM data image must be updated specifying the GPIO pin to use for
termination control. Refer to MPT documentation for details.
Restore Defaults
Press Enter to restore default settings.

* * * * * * * RAID Properties * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
The RAID Properties screen initially comes up listing all possible SCSI IDs on
the Adapter SCSI Channel. This allows the user to select disks on this channel
to be members of a Mirrored array. Mirroring provides protection against data
loss by keeping two copies of the data stored on separate disks.
This screen only applies to SCSI controllers. Here is an example of the RAID
properties screen:

Array:
There are three possible array configurations: IM, 1E and Striped (IS).
-Integrated Mirroring(IM) is a simple sector-to-sector physical mirror of
one drive to another drive. This type has two members(not including hot spare).
-1E is a striped layout with each stripe unit having a secondary(or alternate)
copy stored on a different disk. This type is used when there are more than
two active members in RAID array.
-IS is a striped layout with NO mirroring or secondary copy usage. This type
can have 2 to 6 active disks in the array.
NOTE: The firmware that supports IM/1E features does not support IS. The
same restriction applies to IS firmware, it doesn't support IM/IE features.
SCSI ID:
The SCSI ID that the Operating system or application addresses the array.
Size(MB):
Size of the array.
Array Disk?
Specifies the SCSI 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 the Hot Spare for the RAID array
- the array is made up of the maximum number of devices (6)
Hot Spare
Specifies whether a SCSI device is the 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:
- Only one Hot Spare per RAID array is 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 5 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 a Hot Spare
- the device is not large enough to mirror existing data
on the primary drive
- Integrated Striping Firmware is used. IS does not support Hot Spares.
Status
Field displays current status of disks that are part of a RAID array.
For devices that are not in an Array, field may display help info.
Ok Disk is online and fully functional
Missing Disk is not responding
Failed Disk has failed
Initing Disk is initializing
CfgOffline Disk is offline at host's request
UserFailed Disk is marked failed at host's request
Offline Disk is offline for some other reason
Inactive Disk has been set inactive
Out of Sync Data on disk is not synchronized with the rest of the array
Primary Disk is the primary disk for a 2 disk mirrored array and is OK
Secondary Disk is the seconday disk for a 2 disk mirrored array & is OK
Incompatbl 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
Not Valid Disk doesn't support SMART and cannot be used in an RAID Array
Qtag/Dis Device has Qtags or Disconnects Disabled
Predict Failure
Indicates whether device SMART is predicting device failure (Yes, No).
Size
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.
Array Creation for IM/1E
i) First Disk
The first disk that is selected for a array will prompt for confirmation
as to whether the data on the disk should be retained. Retaining the
data on the primary disk (F3/Shift+3) implies that a two-disk mirrored
array is being created. Data on the primary disk cannot be retained in
any other configuration, since data migration to a three or more disk array
is not supported.
If Delete is selected, data on all disks selected for the array will be
erased (FW performs low-level initialization). Delete should be specified
for 1E array or if the user does not want to retain the data for a two-disk
mirror.
ii) Subsequent Disks
If creating a two-disk array, other disks will have this field grayed out
after two disks are selected. If creating a 1E array, other disks will
have this field grayed after 6 disks are selected.
iii) Commit
Once all disks to make up a array have been selected press Escape. This
will present an opportunity to save/commit the operation or return to the
RAID Properties screen. If save is selected, the array will be created
by the MPT Firmware, during this time the processing screen will be displayed.
Array Creation for IS
Select the disks that will be in the array by changing the Array Disk
field to "Yes". NOTE: If the first disk that is selected gets changed back
to "No" from "Yes", all other disks will be switched back to "No" as well.
(This functionality is the same as in the IM/1E creation)
When there are one or more existing arrays present the user will see the
following screen:

Status
The status of the RAID array (Optimal, Degraded, Disabled,
Quiesced, xx% Syncd, Failed, Inactive).
<Modify>
Press enter to modify array configuration.
This field is grayed out under the following conditions:
- the array is inactive
- the array is at its maximum number of devices and does not contain
a Hot Spare
- IS array is displayed. Since IS doesn't support hot spares no
modifications can be made.
<Sync>
Press enter to synchronize the RAID array.
This field is grayed out under the following conditions:
- the array is inactive
- the array does not need to be resynchronized
- the adapter's MPT FW does not support the feature
- IS array is displayed. IS doesn't require synchronization.
<Activate Array>
This field is used to activate a RAID array.
This field is grayed out if there is currently an active RAID array on
the adapter.
If there are multiple inactive arrays on a physical adapter, this option
allows the user to tell the RAID firmware which array should be made active.
<Delete Array>
This field is used to delete the currently displayed RAID array.
<Next Array>
Press enter to access the next array of a multi-array configuration.
This field is grayed out if there is only one RAID array.
This choice is enabled for an illegal configuration situation where there is
more than one array on this physical adapter. The RAID Properties screen
allows display of one array at a time. This choice allows the user to display
and operate on next array found.
* * * * * * * * * * SCSI Device Properties * * * * * * * * * *
The Device Properties screen provides viewing and updating of individual
device settings for an adapter.

* * * Field Descriptions * * *
SCSI ID
This field indicates the device's SCSI Identifier.
Device Identifier
This field indicates the ASCII device identifier string extracted from
the device's Inquiry Data.
MB/sec
Specifies the maximum synchronous data transfer rate, in
Mega Bytes per second. Values range from 0 (async/narrow) to
320 for Ultra 320.
This field is not directly changeable by the user, but will
be updated when Data Width or MT/Sec fields are changed.
The default for this field is 320 MB/Sec.
MT/sec
This field indicates the maximum synchronous data transfer rate, in
Mega Transfers per second.
Mega Transfers/ Data Data Synchronous
Second Width= 8 Width=16 Period nsec
Mbytes/s Mbytes/s
--------------- -------- -------- -----------
0=Async 0=Async 0=Async 0=Async
5 5 10 200
10 10 20 100
20 20 40 50
40 40 80 25
80 80 160 12.5
160 160 320 6.25
The default value will be 160 MT/Sec.
Data Width
This field indicates the maximum data width in bits. Possible values
are 8 or 16.
The default value for this field is 16.
Scan ID
This field indicates whether to scan for this SCSI identifier at boot time.
This item can be used to ignore a device and to decrease boot time by
disabling the inquiry of unused SCSI identifiers.
Set this option to "No" if there is a device that you do not want to be
available to the system. Also, on a bus with only a few devices attached,
the user can speed up boot time by changing this setting to "No" for all
unused SCSI IDs.
The default value for this field is Yes.
Scan LUNs > 0
This field indicates whether to scan for LUNs greater than zero for a
device. LUN zero is always queried. This option should be used if a
multi-LUN device responds to unoccupied LUNs or if it is desired to reduce
the visibility of a multi-LUN device to LUN zero only.
Set this option to "No" if you have problems with a device that responds to
all LUNs whether they are occupied or not. Also, if a SCSI device with
multiple LUNs exists on your system but you do not want all of those LUNs to
be available to the system, then set this option to "No." This will limit
the scan to LUN 0 only.
The default for this field is Yes.
Disconnect
This field indicates whether to allow a device to disconnect during SCSI
operations. Some (mostly newer) devices run faster with disconnect enabled(On),
while some (mostly older) devices run faster with disconnect disabled(Off).
NOTE: For Integrated Raid arrays this field is not modifiable.
The default for this field is On.
SCSI Timeout
This field indicates the maximum amount of time [0 to 255] in seconds to
wait for a SCSI operation to complete.
Since timeouts provide a safeguard that allows the system to recover
should an operation fail, it is recommended that a value greater than
zero be used. A value of zero allows unlimited time for an operation
to complete and could result in the system hanging (waiting forever)
should an operation fail.
Press Enter, type in a value, and then press Enter again to specify a new
timeout value.
The default value for this field is 10 seconds.
Queue Tags
This field indicates whether to allow the use of queue tags for a device.
Currently the Boot Services Driver does not use queue tags. This item
specifies queue tag control to higher level device drivers. Possible
values are On or Off.
NOTE: For Integrated Raid arrays this field is not modifiable.
The default for this field is On.
Format
Press Enter to low-level format the device.
If enabled, this option allows low-level formatting on a disk drive.
Low-level formatting will completely and irreversibly erase all data on the
drive.
NOTE: For Integrated Raid arrays this field can not be selected.
Note: Formatting will default the drive to a 512-byte sector size even if
the drive had previously been formatted to another sector size.
Verify
Press Enter to verify all sectors on the device and to reassign defective
Logical Block Addresses (LBAs).
NOTE: For Integrated Raid arrays this field can not be selected .
Restore Defaults
Press Enter to obtain default settings.
