b. To uninstall the FSL, run a command similar to the following example. Specify the kernel version of
the package you want to uninstall:
$ rpm -e iomemory-vsl-2.6.18-194.el5-2.2.0.82-1.0
c. To uninstall the utilities, run the following command:
$ rpm -e fio-util fio-snmp-agentx fio-common fio-firmware iomanager-gui
iomanager-jre libfio libfio-doc libfusionjni fio-sysvinit fio-smis
fio-snmp-mib libfio-deb
4. Install the new VSL and related packages:
a. Download the VSL binary package for your kernel and all supporting packages from the HP website
(
http://www.hp.com/support ).
If you do not see a binary package for your kernel, see "Building the IO Accelerator driver from
source (on page
14 )." To see your current kernel version, run the following command:
uname -r
b. Install the VSL and utilities using the following commands:
rpm -Uvh
iomemory-vsl-<kernel-version>-<VSL-version>.x86_64.rpm
rpm -Uvh lib*.rpm
rpm -Uvh fio*.rpm
For more information, see "Installing RPM packages on SUSE, RHEL, and OEL (on page
12 )."
c. Reboot the system.
5. Update the firmware on each device to the latest version using the fio-update-iodrive command.
CAUTION: Do not turn off the power during a firmware upgrade, because this might cause
device failure. If a UPS is not in place, consider adding one to the system before performing a
firmware upgrade.
Sample syntax:
fio-update-iodrive <iodrive_version.fff>
Where <iodrive_version.fff> is the path to the firmware archive. This command updates all of
the devices to the selected firmware. If you wish to update specific devices, consult the utility reference
for more options.
6. Reboot the system.
A warning that the upgraded devices are missing a lebmap, if fio-status is run. This is a customary
warning, and the issue will be corrected in the next step.
7. Load the VSL. For example:
$ modprobe iomemory-vsl
For more information, see "Loading the IO Accelerator driver (on page
18 )."
CAUTION: Use this utility with care since it deletes all user information on the IO Accelerator.
8. Using the fio-format command, format each device. For example:
fio-format <device>
You are prompted to confirm you want to erase all data on the device. The format might take an
extended period of time, depending on the wear on the device.
9. Attach all IO Accelerator devices using the following command:
