fio-attach

Description

Attaches the ioDrive and makes it available to Windows. You can then partition,
format, or set up the ioDrive as part of a RAID array using the Windows Disk
Management utility. This command displays a progress bar and percentage as it
completes the attach process.

Note:

In most cases, the ioDrive driver automatically attaches the device at boot time.

You only need to run fio-attach if you ran fio-detach or if you create and set the
ioDrive’s AutoAttach parameter in the Windows Registry to 0. (See Disabling Auto-
Attach for details.)

Syntax

fio-attach <device-node> [-q, -h, -v]

where <

device-node

>

is the name given by the ioDrive driver to your device. This

name is

/dev/fctx

where x indicates the PCIe bus number where you installed the

ioDrive. (For example, the name

/dev/fct4

refers to the ioDrive installed in PCIe

Bus 4 in your Windows system. Use ioManager or fio-status to view this bus number.)

Option

fio-detach

Description

Detaches the ioDrive and removes the corresponding “fctx” ioDrive block device from
the OS. The fio-detach command will wait until the device completes all read/write
activity before executing the detach operation. The command also displays a progress
bar and percentage as it completes the detach.

Caution: Before using this utility, ensure that the device you want
to detach is not currently mounted and in use.

Syntax

fio-detach <device-node> [-i, -q, -h, -v]

-q

Quiet: Runs the Attach process without displaying the progress bar or
percentage.
