Introduction

The IntraServer driver, ITHPS, allows the Solaris operating system to interface with SCSI devices connected to IntraServer 8200 series Ultra2 controllers with support for Low Voltage Differential (LVD) devices. This driver takes advantage of new hardware features in the 8200 series controllers to minimize CPU utilization, including a single interrupt per I/O.

Features

Provides synchronous negotiation (including Fast SCSI/Ultra SCSI/Ultra2 SCSI)

Supports multiple host adapters

Supports disconnect/reselect

Allows multiple and non-contiguous LUN support

Supports scatter/gather

Supports wide devices, and tagged command queuing

Supports multiprocessors
