Version 3.2.8-20140508

Severity (see readme for important considerations):

  • New Adapters Only: 40 - Moderate Impact/Low Probability of Occurrence
  • Legacy Only Adapters: 40 - Moderate Impact/Low Probability of Occurrence
  • Mixed Legacy and New Adapters: 10 - High Impact/High Probability of Occurrence

Operating System Support (64-bit versions only):

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.8, 5.9, 5.10, 6.3, 6.4, 6.5
  • SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) 10 SP4, 11 SP1, 11 SP2, 11 SP3
  • Microsoft Windows 2008 Standard/Web/Enterprise/DataCenter Server Edition, R2 (any service pack)
  • Microsoft Windows Server 2012 (any service pack version)
  • VMware ESXi 5.0 Update 3, ESXi 5.1, ESXi 5.1, ESXi 5.5

Enhancements:

  • The ioMemory VSL software now prints in the kernel logs the formatted size of each device as it attaches.
  • Documentation for the preallocate_mb parameter for controlling the amount of memory that the ioMemory VSL software preallocates for using devices as SWAP (also known as paging files in Microsoft Windows).
  • The ioMemory VSL software installer for Microsoft Windows will cease installation if another version is previously installed. You must remove other versions before you install this version.
  • The ioMemory VSL installer no longer presents tree-view options when installing the software. The ioMemory VSL utilities are now installed by default.
  • IBM High IOPS Adapters are no longer limited to 15 partitions per device in Linux operating systems using kernel 2.6.28 or newer. Any limitations on the number of partitions are now due to
    system constraints.
  • The SCSI unmap command is now supported with ESXi 5.5.
  • vSAN is now supported with the ESXi 5.5 SCSI version of the ioMemory VSL software.

Fixes:

  • The fio-status utility now returns valid information when an adapter is no longer enumerated on the PCI bus.
  • If fio-format utility is interrupted while formatting a device, the device can be recovered by reformatting with the fio-format utility.
  • Preallocating memory no longer results in delayed startup times.

Microsoft Windows Fixes:

  • Uninstalling the VSL software now will now uninstall the ioMemory VSL utilities.
  • The fio-config utility displays the correct value for all parameters.

Linux Fixes:

  • The init script now loads the ioMemory VSL software on all supported Linux distributions.
  • The init script only unmounts the specified volume.
  • The ioMemory VSL software implements barriers within the Linux file systems.

VMware Fixes:

  • The ioMemory VSL software now verifies a failed attach after a VMware system crash to prevent an invalid state and a PSOD.
  • The ioMemory VSL software no longer recognizes invalid paths nor does it print the errors in the kernel logs.
