ciss driver provides support for the CISS interface
  implemented by fifth and later generations of the HP/Compaq Smart ARRAY family
  of controllers.
The CISS interface is defined in the document entitled CISS Command Interface for SCSI-3 Support Open Specification, Version 1.04, Valence Number 1, Compaq Computer Corporation, 2000/11/27.
This driver supports several Compaq and HP controllers implementing the CISS interface, including:
These controllers support RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, JBOD, and superpositions of those configurations.
Although the controllers are actual RAID controllers, the
    ciss driver makes them look just like SCSI
    controllers. All RAID configuration must be done through the controllers'
    BIOSes.
Hardware from previous generations of this product family may be supported by the cac(4) driver.
ciss driver first appeared in
  NetBSD 3.1.
ciss driver was written by Michael
  Shalayeff
  <mickey@openbsd.org>,
  and ported to NetBSD by Tonnerre
  Lombard
  <tonnerre@netbsd.org>.
