Downgrading a card (from 1.2.7 to 1.2.4)
It is not recommended to downgrade the firmware or driver.
Using the IO Accelerator Utilities
The following utilities are included in the download:
Description
Utility filename
Utility to attach the IO Accelerator to the Operating System.
fio-attach.exe
Utility to detach the IO Accelerator from the Operating System.
fio-detach.exe
Utility to perform a low-level format of the IO Accelerator.
fio-format.exe
Utility to update firmware on the IO Accelerator.
fio-update-iodrive.exe
Utility to display status of IO Accelerator status.
fio-status.exe
To use these utilities, do the following:
1.
Navigate to C:\Program Files\HP StorageWorks IO Accelerator\Utils
2.
Run the utilities from this directory.
Initializing the IO Accelerator
The IO Accelerator is automatically discovered by the system, but must be initialized before use.
1.
From the
Start
menu, select the
Server Manager
.
2.
Select the
Disk Management
plug-in located under the Storage category. The IO Accelerator
should be displayed as a new disk.
• If the firmware is up-to-date, you will be able to initialize, format, partition, and create volumes
on the drive. Proceed to the next step.
• If the drive is not displayed, the firmware is out-of-date and the driver has elected to hide the
disk drive from the operating system. See
Upgrading firmware
for instructions.
• If the drive is displayed, but you are unable to initialize it, you need to do a low-level format.
See
Formatting the IO Accelerator
for instructions.
3.
Right-click the Disk icon in the lower panel of the Disk Management plug-in to see the properties
of the drive and to initialize the drive.
Identifying IO Accelerator devices
Some of the utilities (such as fio-format) require a device name to specify which IO Accelerator is to
be accessed. You can use either the fio-status utility or the IO manager application to discover the
device names to use with the utilities.
