[TUTORIAL] Configuring Fusion-Io (SanDisk) ioDrive, ioDrive2, ioScale and ioScale2 cards with Proxmox

Hello Vladimir,
thank you!
I have followed your How To and unfortunately I still have errors. Could you help?
I have 2 old ioDrive2 3000GB mit Firmware version 7.1.17 116786.

I do all the steps and then I run fio-status -a. It gave back

Hi everyone! I'm a new Proxmox user (just got it installed on my IBM X5 x3850 a few days ago), and I'm trying to get an 80GB FusionIO drive that I bought a few months ago up and working on Proxmox 7.1-2. I have followed the Proxmox 7 guide in the Vladimir's post (including running
Code: 
ls /lib/modules | sudo xargs -n1 /usr/lib/dkms/dkms_autoinstaller start
and rebooting after that step), and I did not get any errors while doing so, but calling "fio-status -a" simply returns:

Code:

I tried going into /etc/lvm/lvm.conf and changing the global { activation } variable from 1 to 0 and rebooting, with no effect.

I tried going into /etc/modprobe.d/iomemory-vsl.conf and adding
Code: 
options iomemory-vsl global_slot_power_limit_mw=50000
, with no effect.

I don't know what I'm doing wrong or what else to try, does anyone have any ideas/suggestions?
 
Heads up fellow FusionIO users. I installed the latest update that included the new kernel version 5.15.30-2 and it completely borked the DKMS build for the driver. Spent the last 30 minutes or so validating that my test machine successfully rolled back (Thank you HPE, your servers boot slow as a slug!)

The RemixVSL repo says "Generally main should be checked out. main is completely backwards compatible for all 5. The latest working tested kernel is 5.16.14." but this goes a bit above my skill level <shrug>

Heads up fellow FusionIO users. I installed the latest update that included the new kernel version 5.15.30-2 and it completely borked the DKMS build for the driver. Spent the last 30 minutes or so validating that my test machine successfully rolled back (Thank you HPE, your servers boot slow as a slug!)

The RemixVSL repo says "Generally main should be checked out. main is completely backwards compatible for all 5. The latest working tested kernel is 5.16.14." but this goes a bit above my skill level <shrug>

Oh that's a bummer... I just got this card and wanted to try it on proxmox :(
 
Same here. You just need to download and install the latest drivers. Only bad side affect is that I lost everything that was on the drive when the new drivers where installed. I had recent backups so not a big deal.
 
cali0028 - I experienced the same issue with my fusion-io scale 2 this morning. I was able to get my server back up and running fairly quickly though. From the GNU GRUB boot menu, select "Advanced options for Proxmox VE GNU/Linux" then "Proxmox VE GNU/Linux, with Linux 5.13.19-6-pve"... After a reboot with kernel 5.13.19-6 - all is well. I have kernel 5.15.35-1 and 5.15.30-2 options that refuse to play well with my fusion-io board...

Before selecting a different kernel, I tried driver reinstallation and it failed:

Code: 
root@t630:/home/temp# dkms build -m iomemory-vsl -v 3.2.16

Kernel preparation unnecessary for this kernel.  Skipping...

Building module:
cleaning build area...
'make' DKMS_KERNEL_VERSION=5.15.30-2-pve........(bad exit status: 2)
Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 5.15.30-2-pve (x86_64)
Consult /var/lib/dkms/iomemory-vsl/3.2.16/build/make.log for more information.
 
Are you guys grabbing the latest version( aka master ) of the driver? Using the one listed in the first post and trying to compile it against the 5.30.X versions of the kernel will only fail to build.
 
kromberg - No I am using the following files (as in the first post):
Code: 
iomemory-vsl-5.12.1
fio-common_3.2.16.1731-1.0_amd64.deb
fio-firmware-fusion_3.2.16.20180821-1_all.deb
fio-sysvinit_3.2.16.1731-1.0_all.deb
fio-util_3.2.16.1731-1.0_amd64.deb
What are you using and could you please provide a link? Also, is it working on kernel 5.15.35-1?
 
https://github.com/RemixVSL/iomemory-vsl

Just did an install this morning. You just need to replace the steps of downloading the iomemory-vsl zip file with the download from the above github link with a rename of the unzipped directory.

I am hitting the power write governing because of the default wattage limit of 25 watts. Anyone know how to bump that up? I found this, but I cant find the fio-config app:

fio-config -p FIO_EXTERNAL_POWER_OVERRIDE <device serial number>:<power in watts>

Also found that it can be set using: /etc/modprobe.d/iomemory-vsl.conf

options iomemory-vsl global_slot_power_limit_mw=35000

But you need to set FIO_EXTERNAL_POWER_OVERRIDE which I cant find howto or to what.

Got it figured out The following will list out all parameters for all modules currently loaded:
Code: 
cat /proc/modules | cut -f 1 -d " " | while read module; do  echo "Module: $module";  if [ -d "/sys/module/$module/parameters" ]; then   ls /sys/module/$module/parameters/ | while read parameter; do    echo -n "Parameter: $parameter --> ";    cat /sys/module/$module/parameters/$parameter;   done;  fi;  echo; done > out


Used that info to create: /etc/modprobe.d/iomemory-vsl.conf
options iomemory-vsl external_power_override=1 options iomemory-vsl global_slot_power_limit_mw=35000

Update the initramfs: update-initramfs -u && reboot

From the GNU GRUB boot menu, select "Advanced options for Proxmox VE GNU/Linux" then "Proxmox VE GNU/Linux, with Linux 5.13.19-6-pve"... After a reboot with kernel 5.13.19-6 - all is well. I have kernel 5.15.35-1 and 5.15.30-2 options that refuse to play well with my fusion-io board...

Before selecting a different kernel, I tried driver reinstallation and it failed:

Code: 
root@t630:/home/temp# dkms build -m iomemory-vsl -v 3.2.16

Kernel preparation unnecessary for this kernel.  Skipping...

Building module:
cleaning build area...
'make' DKMS_KERNEL_VERSION=5.15.30-2-pve........(bad exit status: 2)
Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 5.15.30-2-pve (x86_64)
Consult /var/lib/dkms/iomemory-vsl/3.2.16/build/make.log for more information.

Thanks for the info. I will give that a try

Just did an install this morning. You just need to replace the steps of downloading the iomemory-vsl zip file with the download from the above github link with a rename of the unzipped directory.

Would you mind posting the install code for the new folks?
 
Hi guys!
The problem with fresh kernels 5.15 is solved very simply.
And this is written on the github, where the VSL sources are stored.
You MUST add a kernel boot option to /etc/default/grub.
Like this:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet iommu=pt"
Added bootflag is iommu=pt
Please note, this parameter is for intel processors... for amd - there is another parameter..
you can find it on the link above.
after reboot - everything was fine build and started.

I think Vladimir needs to add this information to the header of this post.

zelenij - I can confirm that simply adding "iommu=pt" to /etc/default/grub like:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet iommu=pt"

and then

sudo update-grub

fixes the fusion-io kernel issue on my t630 when booting any kernel 5.15 or greater. Thank you!

The README.md has now been updated to clarify these settings over at https://github.com/RemixVSL/iomemory-vsl

Hey, @Psilospiral and others!

I haven't abandoned the thread, although I understand that updates are needed. My main concern at this moment is that regardless of the configs, flags and other tweaks my Windows 10 VM performance on Proxmox 7 is simply abysmal. I have 2 identical servers with the same VM deployed on both of them and the difference is staggering. There are 2 things that can cause this - either a bug inside the driver or some kernel-related issue. Either way - I'm not ready to endorse Fusion-Io cards to be used with Proxmox 7 and I personally stick to Proxmox 6 in my production environment.

Thank you for keeping the thread alive and I hope I can find a solution soon.
 
Hi, I have SX350 and used iomemory-vsl4 latest branch and it worked pretty well with latest proxmox.
I used iomemory-vsl4 not iomemory-vsl since SX350 is vsl4 afaik.

Linux pve 5.15.39-4-pve #1 SMP PVE 5.15.39-4 (Mon, 08 Aug 2022 15:11:15 +0200) x86_64 GNU/Linux

Now, the problem is that it doesnt show up on proxmox storage tab and I think this is known issue
https://github.com/RemixVSL/iomemory-vsl/issues/74

So based on above issue, I applied persistent rule
cp iomemory-vsl4/tools/udev/rules.d/60-persistent-fio.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/

However, after applying above rule, start up of system takes forever and system loses network

I checked syslog and found this

Aug 25 03:31:32 pve systemd-udevd[574]: fioa1: Worker [588] processing SEQNUM=4954 is taking a long time Aug 25 03:32:40 pve systemd-udevd[574]: fioa1: Worker [588] processing SEQNUM=4954 killed Aug 25 03:32:40 pve systemd-udevd[574]: Worker [588] terminated by signal 9 (KILL) Aug 25 03:32:40 pve systemd-udevd[574]: fioa1: Worker [588] failed

I wonder if anyone tried to apply persistent.rules

Thanks,
 
Hello, installed a couple SX300-3200 cards in two different computers. I am able to get them upgraded to 4.3.7 and working. However, I get the following error on both computers.

The bandwidth of the PCI slot is not optimal for the ioMemory.
 
Hi everybody,

I have got 2 ioDrive2 drives and am trying to install them on a Dell T410 server using the latest proxmox (7.3.6).
I have am using the scripts modified with the latest versions and updated the fIrmware succesfully.

The devices are visible but remain in Minimal state.

Any suggestions??
 
Hi everybody,
Thanks to this topic and one over at STH (servethehome) i have managed to install the drivers and get the drives working on the newest 6.1 kernel of proxmox 7.3.
At least, they are interacting with all tools now. I can format, create volumes and copy stuff.

If anyone is interested here's how i did it:

1. removed all old drivers and all installed fio software and rebooted

Code: 
sudo modprobe -R iomemory-vsl

sudo apt-get remove fio-*

reboot

2. Updated the kernel to 6.1 (see this topic)

3. I Added
Code: 
 intel_iommu=on iommu=pt
to the kernel commandline.

Depending weather you are booting with Grub edit /etc/default/grub
and do a "grub-update"

or if you are booting with systemd edit /etc/kernel/cmdline
and do a "proxmox-boot-tool refresh"

After that : reboot

4. install drivers like described on this page.
be sure to stick to the "main" tag.
rebooted again and voilá, they are working fine :)


And now: for the next step...
Since i have two of them i want to create a mirror on wich i serve all the VM's (not storage) to keep my io from spiking.
The drives are not showing up as disks in the webgui so i followed the instructions in this post which results in two thin LV's.
But i can not move any opf the existing VM disks to these LV'sn, nor can i create a mirror this way.
Since i am new to proxmox, i have still a lot to learn about storage types.
Does anyone have a suggestion on how to approach this?
