Installation

Run the binary provided....

./FuzeDriveServer_install_linux64_XXXX

Install the licence...

evsp --license AAAA-BBBB-CCCC-DDDD

Check the licence...

evsp --license

Create a Fuze Drive

There are several pssoble ways to create a tiered volume, depending on the number and configuration of the disk required. Before creating a disk you will need to list the available disks that can be used: List the available drives:

evsp --list

The general create command is mused to make intermediate virtual volumes (vdisks) that form the tiers as well as the tiered volumes (tdisks).

The command follows a set format:

evsp --create <disk-type> <device1> <device2> ... {options}

#disk-type = vdisk or tdisk
#device = the disks to be used
#options = type or inital mode of the volume

Creating Single Disk-per-Tier tidsks

When combining a single pair of fast and slow devices together into a tdisk, there is no need to create intermediate vdisk devices and a single command can be used where device 1 is the fast device and device 2 is the slow tier.

evsp --create /dev/sdb /dev/sdc

There are three options that can be passed to determine the mapping of the fast and slow tiers to the logical blocks address space:

  1. fast_first - the fast tier is placed at logical address 0
  2. slow_first - The slow device is placed at logical address 0
  3. fast_part - 20% of the fast tier is placed at logical address 0, with the remaining 80% placed at the end.
