Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following lines in loader.conf(5):
isp_load="YES" ispfw_load="YES"
It supports initiator and target modes of FCP SCSI profile, utilizing Class 3 and Class 2 connections. Support is available for Public and Private loops, Point-to-Point and Fabric connections.
Supported FC-Tape functionality is highly recommended for connections to tape drives that support it. It encompasses four elements from the T-10 FCP-4 specification:
Together these features allow for link level error recovery with tape devices. Without it, an initiator cannot, for instance, tell whether a tape write command that has timed out resulted in all, part or none of the data going to the tape drive. FC-Tape is automatically enabled when connecting controller that supports it to a target that supports it. It may be disabled using configuration and hint options described below.

option.
To disable FC-Tape, use the following configuration option:
options ISP_FCTAPE_OFF
Note that even if the ISP_FCTAPE_OFF option is used, it may be overridden by the fctape hint described below.
They are:
| hint.isp.N .msi | |
| Limit on number of Message Signaled Interrupts (MSI) to be used. | |
| hint.isp.N .msix | |
| Limit on number of Extended Message Signaled Interrupts (MSI-X) to be used. | |
| hint.isp.N .fwload_disable | |
| A hint value to disable loading of firmware provided by ispfw(4). | |
| hint.isp.N .fwload_force | |
|
A hint value to prefer firmware provided by
ispfw(4),
even if it is older than the firmware in flash on the board.
If fwload_disable is also specified, fwload_force will be ignored.
By default, with 27XX and newer controllers, the isp(4) driver will use the newer firmware. For older controllers, the isp(4) driver will use the firmware provided by ispfw(4) if it is available, and otherwise use the firmware in flash on the board. | |
| hint.isp.N .ignore_nvram | |
| A hint value to ignore board NVRAM settings for. Otherwise use NVRAM settings. | |
| hint.isp.N .fullduplex | |
| A hint value to set full duplex mode. | |
| hint.isp.N .topology | |
|
A hint value to select topology of connection.
Supported values are:
| |
| lport | Prefer loopback and fallback to point to point. |
| nport | Prefer point to point and fallback to loopback. |
| lport-only | Loopback only. |
| nport-only | Point to point only. |
| hint.isp.N .portwwn | |
| This should be the full 64 bit World Wide Port Name you would like to use, overriding the value in NVRAM for the card. | |
| hint.isp.N .nodewwn | |
| This should be the full 64 bit World Wide Node Name you would like to use, overriding the value in NVRAM for the card. | |
| hint.isp.N .iid | |
| A hint to override or set the Initiator ID or Loop ID. For Fibre Channel cards in Local Loop topologies it is strongly recommended that you set this value to non-zero. | |
| hint.isp.N .role | |
| A hint to define default role for isp instance (0 -- none, 1 -- target, 2 -- initiator, 3 -- both). | |
| hint.isp.N .debug | |
| A hint value for a driver debug level (see the file /usr/src/sys/dev/isp/ispvar.h for the values. | |
| hint.isp.N .vports | |
| A hint to create specified number of additional virtual ports. | |
| hint.isp.N .nofctape | |
| Set this to 1 to disable FC-Tape operation on the given isp instance. | |
| hint.isp.N .fctape | |
| Set this to 1 to enable FC-Tape operation on the given isp instance for targets that support it. | |
| dev.isp.N .loop_down_limit | |
| This value says how long to wait in seconds after loop has gone down before giving up and expiring all of the devices that were visible. The default is 300 seconds (5 minutes). A separate (nonadjustable) timeout is used when booting to not stop booting on lack of FC connectivity. | |
| dev.isp.N .gone_device_time | |
| This value says how long to wait for devices to reappear if they (temporarily) disappear due to loop or fabric events. While this timeout is running, I/O to those devices will simply be held. | |
| dev.isp.N .use_gff_id
dev.isp.N .use_gft_id | |
| Setting those options to 0 allows to disable use of GFF_ID and GFT_ID SNS requests during FC fabric scan. It may be useful if switch does not implement them correctly, preventing some devices from being found. Disabling them may cause unneeded logins to ports not supporting target role or even FCP at all. The default is 1 (enabled). | |
| dev.isp.N .wwnn | |
| This is the readonly World Wide Node Name value for this port. | |
| dev.isp.N .wwpn | |
| This is the readonly World Wide Port Name value for this port. | |
| dev.isp.N .fw_version_flash | |
| The readonly flash firmware version value in the active region of the controller. | |
| dev.isp.N .fw_version_ispfw | |
| The readonly firmware version value provided by ispfw(4). | |
| dev.isp.N .fw_version_run | |
| The readonly firmware version value currently executed on the controller. | |
