Options

-dUpdates the specified device. Use /dev/fctx where x is the device’s PCIe bus number. (Use fio-status to view this.)

-f

-l -p

Force Upgrade (Also used to perform a rollback to an earlier firmware version.)

List firmware available in the archive.

Pretend: Show what updates would be done (the firmware is not modified). This option requires the -d option.

-qRuns the update process without displaying the progress bar or percent completed.

Caution: Use the -f option with care, as forcing an upgrade could damage your device.

Note: All three external LED indicators will light during the update process.

3.6 Enabling SNMP

The ioDrive also supports monitoring using SNMP or Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI). The Windows Setup package places the ioDrive SNMP extension agent DLL and MIB into Program Files\Fusion-io\SNMP. This ioDrive agent requires the Windows SNMP service active on the computer (see your Windows documentation for details). Currently, WMI requires SNMP in the background to function so you’ll need to setup SNMP for either.

To install and enable the extension agent:

1.Copy fio-snmp-win.dll into Windows\System32.

2.Open Regedit and create the following registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Fusion-io\ fio-snmp-win\CurrentVersion\Pathname = %systemroot%\system32\ fio-snmp-win.dll

3.In Regedit, locate the following registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Ser- vices\SNMP\Parameters\ExtensionAgents

4.Modify this key to include a String Value. Number it next in the list of agents.

5.Modify this value with the following:
