Driver Installation

rpm -Uvh iomemory-vsl-<kernel-version>-<VSL-version>.x86_64.rpm

Once the driver is installed edit the /etc/modprobe.d/unsupported_modules file to allow unsupported modules. 

modprobe iomemory-vsl

Rebuilding the Driver for a new kernel

This was tested on a system in the lab. The driver rebuilt, however it did not work. More investigation is needed. But this is here for convenience 

rpmbuild --rebuild iomemory-vsl-<VSL-version>.src.rpm

The resulting RPMs will be writen to the directory shown add the end of the command. These can be installed the same way as the original driver.

Utility Installation

User the RPM command above to install these RPMs. The version must match the drivers

  1. fio-util-<VSL-version>.x86_64.rpm ioMemory VSL utilities – Recommended
  2. fio-firmware-<version>.<date>-1.0.noarch.rpm Firmware archive – Recommended
  3. libfio-<version>.x86_64.rpm Libraries needed for management tools – Recommended
  4. fio-common-<VSL-version>.x86_64.rpm Files required for the init script – Recommended
  5. fio-sysvinit-<VSL-version>.x86_64.rpm Init script – Recommended


Confirming the drive is loaded

fio-status

The output should list all the fusion drives. It will also mount the drives to /dev/fio*
