• The VMware Website. And there it is, free for download, the Fusion IO driver: After you downloaded the driver zip, place it in a separate directory and unpack it.

• Installing Fusion IO driver on VMware ESXi 5 using vSphere Update Manager (VUM). 2012 No Comments. This blog post will describe how to install the Fusion IO driver on VMware ESXi 5 using the vSphere Update Manager. First things first, grab the latest driver from the VMware website. All my projects/blog posts eat up alot of my free time.

I recently purchased two HP 380P Gen 8 servers with 365GB IODrive2s for VDI using Vmware View 5.2.

After using the latest HP vmware 5.1 update 1 ESX installer and then installing the Fusion-io drivers for ESX I was able to format the drive as VMFS5, create a pool and put the replica on the Fusion-io.

All of these seemed to run about as fast as our two 15k SAS drives in RAID0. Unsatisfied with the VDI experience we decide to create a pool with all components on the Fusion-io. The speed still didn't seem on par with what the spec sheets state. I finally did a test copy of from the Fusion-io to itself (from the ESXi ssh shell) and I am currently getting about 1GB per minute transfer rate. The white papers claim I should be getting around 500MBps.

Here are some tests:

from 4 drive RAID10 15k SAS to itself:
cp VMware-VIMSetup-all-5.1.0-947939.iso test.iso takes 37s

from 4 drive RAID10 15k SAS to Fusion-io:
cp VMware-VIMSetup-all-5.1.0-947939.iso /vmfs/volumes/fusion2/test.iso takes 34 sec

from Fusion-io to itself:
cp test.iso test2.iso takes 78 sec

from my desktop SSD to itself: 32s

7200rpm hard drive to itself: 115s

I currently have a ticket open with HP and VMware but I am essentially getting fingerprinting. I am hoping someone in the community has solved my issues.

Everything is working now. Thanks for all of you help. I wasn't testing the card vs the sas array hard enough. Once I used random writes and reads in testing and saturated the cache on the raid controller, the fusionio beat the array. 168MB/s vs 6 MB/s. I was also able to speed everything up in VDI by enabling a portion of the fusion to be used as host cache.

Today we have the Fusion-io ioDrive installation on VMware vShphere 5.5 guide for the VMware users. In case you missed it – we had our install a Fusion-io ioDrive on Windows guide posted recently and notes on Ubuntu and Proxmox (Debian custom build) with Fusion-io. VMware applications are broad and high-speed storage, especially when multiple VMs are hitting a datastore, is essential. Fusion-io cards are ideal for low latency, high IOPS transactions.

One first needs to find the proper drivers and firmware to make these cards work. Fusion-io requires registration for driver/firmware download but these cards can be vendor locked. We have found, for example, that HP cards running Ubuntu Linux can use standard Fusion-io drivers. Often though the vendor lock means you need to use specific OEM firmware. This is a HP unit which requires HP firmware. To get the firmware:

Search 600281-B21 (320GB SLC Duo), 600278-B21 (SLC 160GB) and etc for MLC parts:

Search for the OS, in this case VMware vSphere 5.5.

Here there are three files:

• VSL3.2.6_ESXi-5.5.zip is required
• ioSphere3.6.1_ESXi-5.x.zip is optional if need to run fio utility
• ioSphere3.6.1_VMware_Virtual_Appliance.zip is optional if have the license and need to centralized manage multiple nodes

At this point you will need to restart the system and verify that the driver is working.

You can validate this is installed with: Esxcli software vib list

Now moving to the GUI you can see the storage adapter and data stores as normal.

And datastores can be seen/ created as one normally would.

And if you want to install Fusion-io ioSphere:

esxcli software vib install -d /tmp/fusionio-cimprovider-esxi5-bundle-3.6.1-114.zip -–no-sig-check

One nice part here is that one can use the same command to see status as we would use under Windows CLI or Linux with: fio-status -a

Sandisk Fusion Io Drivers

Overall this is one of the easier installations, and significantly easier than on many Linux hosts where Fusion-io only supports an extremely narrow set of releases. (e.g. 14.04 LTS but not the updated 14.04.2 LTS)
