HP Thunderbolt 2-Port AiO Module ESXi/ESX Fio-beacon, Fio-bugreport, Fio-attach device options

Page 30

NOTE: If multiple IO Accelerator devices are installed in a computer, they attach in parallel.

Syntax

fio-attach <device> [options]

Where <device> is the name of the device node (/dev/fctx), where x indicates the card number: 0, 1, 2, and so on. For example, /dev/fct0 indicates the first IO Accelerator installed on the system.

Options

Option

Description

 

 

-c

Attach only if clean.

-q

Quiet: disables the display of the progress bar and

 

percentage.

In most cases, the IO Accelerator driver automatically attaches the device on load. If you need to detach the device, run the fio-detachcommand. For more information, see "fio-detach (on page 32)."

fio-beacon

Description

The fio-beaconutility turns on all three LEDs of the specified IO Accelerator for identification. This utility is not applicable for the mezzanine format of the IO Accelerator, which has no externally visible LEDs. You must detach the IO Accelerator, and then run the fio-beaconcommand. For more information, see "fio-detach (on page 32)."

Syntax

fio-beacon <device> [options]

Where <device> is the name of the device node (/dev/fctx), where x indicates the card number: 0, 1, 2, and so on. For example, /dev/fct0 indicates the first IO Accelerator installed on the system.

Options

Option

Description

 

 

-0

Off: Turns off the three LEDs

 

 

-1

On (default): Lights the three LEDs

-p

Prints the PCI bus ID of the device at <device> to standard output. Usage and error

 

information might be written to standard output rather than to standard error.

fio-bugreport

Description

Prepares a detailed report of the device for use in troubleshooting issues.

This utility captures the current state of the device. When a performance or stability problem occurs with the device, run the fio-bugreportutility and contact HP support (http://www.hp.com/support) for assistance in troubleshooting.

The output will indicate where the bugreport is saved.
