Issue. What driver is needed for Fusion-io ioDrive devices?Environment. Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 4. Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 5. Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 6. Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 7.
Sep 13, 2011 Fusion-io has built an entire brand around speed – their ioDrive PCIe SSDs have long been touted as some of the fasted storage devices on the market. If your enterprise needs even more performance in a single PCIe slot, then there's the Fusion-io ioDrive Duo, which basically doubles down on.

You agree that Red Hat is not responsible or liable for any loss or expenses that may result due to your use of (or reliance on) the external site or content.The driver for this device is included within the Fusion-io binary driver package, which can be downloaded directly from the Fusion-io support website at.A Linux kernel module, or device driver, for Fusion-io flash storage devices has not yet been provided under an Open Source license, such as the GPL, to enable Red Hat to distribute it with the Linux Kernel. Therefore, it must be obtained as a third-party driver from the vendor for use within Red Hat Enterprise Linux or Red Hat Enterprise OpenStack Platform.While Red Hat is unable to supply these drivers directly, we will fully support the underlying installation on which these drivers are used.
Support for third party applications developed around the Fusion-io ioDrive and dedicated driver is not implied.Please refer to the following for further details on how Red Hat supports third-party software and other support policies:.
This is an unsupported update of the original driver source for FusionIOcards. It comes with no warranty, it may cause DATA LOSS or CORRUPTION.Therefore it is NOT meant for production use, just for testing purposes.
Current version
The master branch is based on the 3.2.15 iomemory driver version with severalenhancements from the 4.3.4 driver for SX/PX Fusion cards. It is basically thefirst version that does not silently drop IOs in newer Linux kernels.The next_generation branch is based on the 3.2.16 version. It is closerto the official version although with slightly rearranged file structureto better match the 4.3.4 version.
Stability
The master version is currently powering a CEPH cluster with official LTSkernel 4.14 and works quite well. Testing and running with the kernel modulehas been done on Redhat.
Background
Driver support for FusionIO cards has been lagging behind kernelreleases, effectively making the cards an expensive paperweightwhen running a distribution like Ubuntu which supplies newer kernels.Deemed a trivial task to update the drivers and actually make them workwith said newer kernels, and putting the expensive paperweight to use againso I could access my data.., set forking and fixing the code in motionquite a while ago.
Building
Hiross air dryer manual download. If you are on CentOS or similiar distribution simply run
Otherwise module building can be done according to the original README.
Installation
Installation can be done according to the original README.
DKMS
A dkms.conf file is supplied, so it should be plug and play:
With fio-utils installed you should see the following kind of..:
Other notes
Installing the fio-util, fio-common, fio-preinstall and fio-sysvinit arerecommended. When moving from source 2.3.11 to source 3.2.10 the firmwareHAS TO BE UPDATED to 3.2.10.20150212. For the move to 3.2.15 from 3.2.10I've not seen any issues with my card.
