HP IO Accelerator Driver and Management Software Version 2.2.1 Release Notes

Errata 13
IO Accelerator is not bootable
The IO Accelerator cannot currently be used as a boot device.
Compiler Cache (ccache) causes driver src.rpm rebuild failures on
some distributions
If the ccache package is installed, rebuilding the fio-driver src.rpm might fail with an error similar to
the following:
CC [M] /root/fio/fio-driver-2.0.0.113/root/usr/src/fio-driver/driver_init.o
/root/fio/fio-driver-2.0.0.113/root/usr/src/fio-driver/driver_init.c:116:
error: initializer element is not constant
[...]
To allow the driver to rebuild, remove the ccache package or disable ccache.
fio-update-iodrive shows strange version number
Using the fio-update-iodrive utility shows firmware reporting and updated from 41936 to 5. This
report occurs because the firmware is moving to a new versioning system. However, the firmware update is
successful and the device is operating with the updated firmware (version 42527).
Reported power usage from fio-status might be incorrect for IO
Accelerator Monos
The value reported by the fio-status utility for PCIe Bus power is incorrect for IO Accelerator Monos
(IO Accelerators without a separate carrier adapter) and must not be used for any health monitoring. The IO
Accelerator Mono cannot draw more power than what is provided by the base PCIe specification for the
minimum slot. Therefore, tracking this value accurately is unnecessary. The device and driver operate
normally in all other aspects. Only the reporting function is affected. Other IO Accelerator models that
support power usage monitoring are not affected.
Sample errant fio-status output: PCIE Bus power:
PCIE Bus power: avg 6.86W, max -16.89W
LED indicators do not operate properly
The LED lights might not light up according to expected behavior. After the driver is loaded, the amber and
green LED lights might remain constantly lit and fail to blink to indicate device activity.
This behavior is only experienced on newer IO Accelerator devices that have a part number that begins with
FS1-003-XXX-XX. Older IO Accelerator devices that are not affected by this behavior have a part number that
begins with FS1-001-XXX-XX.
This issue does not affect IO Accelerator Duo devices or HP IO Accelerators for BladeSystem c-Class.
