i2o_scsi(7D)

NAME

     i2o_scsi - an I2O OS  specific  module  that  supports  SCSA
     interface.

DESCRIPTION

     The i2o_scsi OSM module is a SCSI HBA driver  that  supports
     the SCSA interface.
      It supports both SCSI Adapter  Class  and  SCSI  Peripheral
     Class  functions.  It translates the SCSI packet coming down
     from the SCSA into an I2O  SCSI  Peripheral  Class  message,
     passes  it  along  to the IOP which in turn passes it to the
     HDM (hardware specific module).

     It also uses SCSI Adapter Class functions to manage the SCSI
     adapter  and SCSI bus.  For each SCSI Adapter Class I2O dev-
     ice (a SCSI controller), it claims the SCSI Peripheral class
     devices  which  are attached to that port. The existing SCSI
     target drivers which use the SCSA interface should only work
     with  i2o_scsi. This includes target drivers like sd, st and
     so on.
