.Pp
These controllers support RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, JBOD,
and superpositions of those configurations.
.Pp
Although the controllers are actual RAID controllers,
the driver makes them look just like SCSI controllers.
All RAID configuration is done through the controllers' BIOSes.
.Pp
The management interface is provided through the
.Xr bio 4
device or one of the daughter
.Xr sd 4
devices as implemented in the
.Xr bioctl 8
utility.
Logical disk status is exposed under the
.Va hw.sensors
.Xr sysctl 8
and can be monitored using
.Xr sensorsd 8 .
For example:
.Bd -literal -offset indent
$ sysctl hw.sensors.ami0
hw.sensors.ami0.drive0=online (sd0), OK
hw.sensors.ami0.drive1=degraded (sd1), WARNING
hw.sensors.ami0.drive2=failed (sd2), CRITICAL
