<p>The CAM Target Layer (CTL) is now in &os;/head.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>CTL is a disk and processor device emulation subsystem originally
|
||||
written for Copan Systems under Linux starting in 2003. It
|
||||
has been shipping in Copan (now SGI) products since 2005.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>It was ported to &os; in 2008, and thanks to an agreement
|
||||
between SGI (who acquired Copan's assets in 2010) and Spectra
|
||||
Logic in 2010, CTL is available under a BSD-style license. The
|
||||
intent behind the agreement was that Spectra would work to get
|
||||
CTL into the &os; tree.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>It will likely be merged into the stable/9 tree in
|
||||
mid-February.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Some CTL features:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Disk and processor device emulation</li>
|
||||
<li>Tagged queueing</li>
|
||||
<li>SCSI task attribute support (ordered, head of queue,
|
||||
simple tags)</li>
|
||||
<li>SCSI implicit command ordering support. (e.g. if a read
|
||||
follows a mode select, the read will be blocked until the
|
||||
mode select completes.)</li>
|
||||
<li>Full task management support (abort, LUN reset, target
|
||||
reset, etc.)</li>
|
||||
<li>Support for multiple ports</li>
|
||||
<li>Support for multiple simultaneous initiators</li>
|
||||
<li>Support for multiple simultaneous backing stores</li>
|
||||
<li>Persistent reservation support</li>
|
||||
<li>Mode sense/select support</li>
|
||||
<li>Error injection support</li>
|
||||
<li>High Availability support (1)</li>
|
||||
<li>All I/O handled in-kernel, no userland context switch
|
||||
overhead.</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>(1) HA Support is just an API stub, and needs much more to be fully
|
||||
functional.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>For the basics on configuring and running CTL, see
|
||||
src/sys/cam/ctl/README.ctl.txt in the &os;/head source
|
||||
tree.</p>

<p>The LSI-supported version of the mps(4) driver, that supports
|
||||
their 6Gb SAS controllers and WarpDrive solid state drives, is
|
||||
available in &os;/head.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>In addition to WarpDrive support, the driver also has several
|
||||
other new features:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Integrated RAID (IR) support</li>
|
||||
<li>Improved error recovery code</li>
|
||||
<li>Support for SCSI protection information (EEDP)</li>
|
||||
<li>Support for TLR (Transport Level Retries), needed for tape
|
||||
drives</li>
|
||||
<li>ioctl interface compatible with LSI utilities</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Thanks to LSI for doing the work on this driver, and the
|
||||
testing.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>I plan to merge it into stable/9 and stable/8 in early
|
||||
February.</p>
