are nits: Bytes, KBytes, MBytes, GBytes, TBytes, PBytes and percent. According with the documentation for ESXi the recomented block size is 512B.įusion-io format utility (v3. The most insteresting are the one related with the reformattation of the flash by choosing a different block size: some OSes still need a 512 Byte block size and can have some performance issues with the new 4k standard (note that ioFX devices are pre-formatted with 4kB sector sizes all other ioMemory devices are formatted to 512B sectors when shipped). On the hosts side some new CLI command were also add (in the /opt/fio/bin directory). In next posts I will describe some tests with PernixData and VSAN.

In this case, only supported operating systems can use the device and if you are using VMDirectPathIO, you do not need to install the ioMemory VSL software on the ESXi system.īut the must interesting use is as a host cache with caching software, or a support for some Virtual Storage Appliance (VSA) or some kind of Software Defined Storage (SDS). Another option is using VMDirectPathIO, allow a virtual machine to directly use the ioMemory device. Guest operating systems can be 32-bit or 64-bit because they are not directly using the ioMemory device. You can start using it as a local disk (if you want make some speed tests) using the ioMemory device as VMFS datastore within the hypervisor, and then sharing that storage with guest operating systems.

Remediation must done in sequence: first the driver part as in the remediation selection.Īt this point you can see a new storage adapter with the corresponding block storage (type SSD):

One simple way is just use the VMware Update Manager (VUM) and import the two required files in the repository and then add to a baseline.

You can verify that the Fusion-IO cards are installed if you can see them in the PCI bus of the host:Ġ000:41:00.0 Mass storage controller: Fusion-io ioDrive2 Īt this point you can add the drivers and the library of the cards. Those can been obtained from the Fusion-IO support site (and you will need to register and account and a product in order to start the download):įor VMware ESXi-5.5 the last version is 3.2.6, but there are also drivers also for other hypervisors or just for physical servers. Note that there are also several software layer in order to provide also high level functions, like ioTurbine Virtual, ioCache, ioVDI, … but of course you can use the server cards also with other 3rd part software that can manage flash storage like this card or local SSD disks.Īfter you have installed the cards in your hosts (really important is use recent hosts with faster PCI-e bus and follow the installation guide for the notes about power management and temperature control) you have to add some drivers. Thanks to Fusion-IO Italy I’ve got the opportunity to test thee Fusion-io 410GB ioScale, the smallest model of this product line (ioScale products use MLC technology and are in these capacities: 410GB, 825GB, 1650GB, 3.2TB), but enough to provide good performance and enable my environment to do some tests (anyway they are the second Generation ioScale Device). Their In-Server Acceleration products are impressive (sometime also in the price) and can provide up to 10.24TB of flash to maximize performance for large data sets, or also solutions for blade server (with the ioDrive2 ® Mezzanine).
