Operating System Support (64-bit versions only):
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL)5 (up to 5.11), 6 (up to 6.7), 7 (up to 7.2)
- SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) 10.4, 11.3 11.4, 12, 12.1
- Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 64-Bit
- Microsoft Windows Server 2012
- Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2
- VMware Operating Systems ESXi 5.0, ESXi 5.1, ESXi 5.5, ESXI6.0
General Changes:
- Newly Supported Operating Systems:
- Linux n RHEL 6.7, 7.1, 7.2
- SLES 11.4, 12.1
- VMware ESXi 6.0
- fio-sure-erase now ships with all supported OS platforms for a VSL release. (CRT-79)
Fixed General Issues:
- Ignore incorrect high temperature taking Legacy IBM High IOPS Adapter offline. (CRT-15)
- Fixed a bug with persistent trim that could cause device data mismanagement. As a result of this fix, some users could experience reduced performance depending on workload. (FH-23419)
- The VSL driver now correctly handles improper I/O. When a card is formatted with 4KiB sectors, the VSL driver now properly handles I/O that does not start at sector boundaries, or where the length is not an integral number of sectors. (CRT-13)
- fio-detach now correctly returns a busy code instead of error. With this version of the Fusion ioMemory VSL software, when fio-detach is run while another command such as fio-format or fio-attach is in progress, fio-detach now correctly returns a busy code; previously, fiodetach incorrectly returned an error. (FH-23174)
- fio-update-iodrive now reports the correct upgraded FW version when upgrading firmware. (FH-23530)
Linux Changes:
Linux Improvements and Features:
- The fio-preinstall RPM package is now relocatable at install time, using the --prefix option to rpm. (CRT-77)
- Added Kernel 4.0 support. (CRT-154)
Fixed Linux Issues:
- sysvinit scripts are now fixed to correctly identify all mounted file systems and to unmount them at driver unload time. (CRT-183)
- Fixed a resource leak which could lead to soft lockups and reduced performance, when a Linux server was configured to use the intel_iommu. (CRT-100)
- The "hash: dracut: not found" errors no longer occur when rebuilding the source RPM for SLES 11 and 12 on systems that do not have dracut. (CRT-121)
VMware Changes:
Fixed VMware Issue:
- Fixed ioMemory VSL SCSI Abort Command handler issue in the VSL ESXi driver that could result in a PSOD or the IBM High IOPS Adapter going offline. This issue was present in all previous VSL3 SCSI drivers, but not in the "block" drivers. (CRT-90)
