fio-trim-config

Description
Enables or disables the Trim feature (Windows® service), which reclaims available space from the file

system. It is generally recommended that Trim be enabled for best performance. Running this utility with

no options displays the current Trim status. See "Trim support ("

" on page

)" for more information.

NOTE:

This utility affects all IO Accelerators in the system. You cannot enable or disable Trim

for only selected devices.

Syntax
fio-trim-config <iodrive-device> [-d, -e, -v, -h]
Options

-d Disable Trim on this computer.

-e Enable Trim on this computer.

fio-update-iodrive

Description
Updates the PCIe IO Accelerator firmware. This utility scans the PCIe bus for all PCIe IO Accelerators and

updates them. A progress bar and percentage are shown for each device as the update completes. To
update one or more specific devices, use the -d option with the device number (shown in fio-status)

if the driver is loaded, or the -s option along with the PCIe bus address (viewed using lspci) if the

driver is unloaded, to identify the devices.

CAUTION:

The default action (without using the –d or –s option) is to upgrade all PCIe IO

Accelerator devices with the firmware contained in the <iodrive version.fff> file.

Confirm that all devices need the upgrade prior to running the update. If in doubt, use the –p

(Pretend) option to view the possible results of the update.

Syntax
fio-update-iodrive <iodrive_version.fff> [-d, -l, -p, -q, -s, h, -v]
where <iodrive_version.fff> is the path and firmware archive file provided. The default path is

/usr/share/fusionio/images.
Options

CAUTION:

Use the –d or –s options with care since updating the wrong PCIe IO Accelerator

could damage your device.

-d: Updates the specified devices (by fctx where x is the number of the device shown in fio-

status).

-l: Lists firmware available in the archive.

-p: Pretend shows what updates would be done. However, the actual firmware is not modified.

-q: Runs the update process without displaying the progress bar or percentage.
