HP IO Accelerator Driver and Management Software Version 3.2.3 Release Notes

Change log 15
Issue: Splitting and merging Virtual Controller configurations without specifying the device would fail if
unsupported devices are installed.
Resolution: Devices that do not support Virtual Controller configuration are now ignored and the
conversion is successful.
• Additional memory allocated
Issue: When attaching a freshly formatted device, IO Accelerator VSL version 3.2.2 allocated more
initial memory than was required. This was more evident on a newly formatted device that was not in
use.
Resolution: The VSL software now allocates the correct amount of memory.
• Power throttle warning on products with one device
Issue: A power throttling warning appeared in fio-status every time there was a power throttling
event.
Resolution: Power throttling is the correct behavior in these circumstances, but the messages are now
informational and not warnings.
• Issues when interrupting fio-format
Issue: If the fio-format utility was interrupted while formatting a device, then the device might
become unusable. You could recover a device by using the fio-sure-erase utility.
Resolution: Added a notice to the utility stating that users should not interrupt the fio-format process
and how to recover from a failed format by using fio-sure-erase. HP does not recommend
interrupting the fio-format process.
• Utility interrupting firmware updates
Issue: Running fio-status while fio-update-iodrive was updating a device would cause the
update to fail.
Resolution: The fio-update-iodrive utility now prevents other utilities from disrupting the update
process.
• Failed firmware upgrade not reported
Issue: The fio-update-iodrive utility might display a success message even through firmware
update failed.
Resolution: The fio-update-iodrive utility now only displays a success message if the device is
successfully upgraded.
• Problem updating multiple ioDrive duo devices
Issue: Upgrading multiple ioDrive Duo devices in a single fio-update-iodrive command would
fail with error Device is missing midprom data.
Resolution: Updating multiple devices in a single command is now successful.
• Utilities and VSL software mismatch error
Issue: When you updated the IO Accelerator VSL software, but did not update the utilities, the utilities
would not run and would return an error about an API mismatch.
Resolution: The installed VSL utilities should still match the IO Accelerator VSL version, but the error
message is now more informative. For example: Error: This version of <utility> is not
compatible with the running driver. Please install a <utility> that matches
the driver's version.
• Reported memory grew on each attach
