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-statusto view this bus number.)

Option

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

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]
