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.
For all warnings, alerts, and options pertaining to this command utility, see "fio-update-iodrive."
Sample syntax:
fio-update-iodrive <iodrive_version.fff>

the devices to the selected firmware. To update specific devices, consult the utility reference for more
options.

missing a lebmap. This is a customary warning, and the issue will be corrected in the next step.

Format each device using fio-format. For example:
fio-format <device>
CAUTION:
Use this utility with care since it deletes all user information on the IO Accelerator.
You are prompted to confirm that 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.

Attach all IO Accelerator devices. For example:
fio-attach /dev/fct*
