The driver for this device is included within the Fusion-io binary driver package, which can be downloaded directly from the Fusion-io support website at. A Linux kernel module, or device driver, for Fusion-io flash storage devices has not yet been provided under an Open Source license, such as the GPL, to enable Red Hat to distribute it with the Linux Kernel. Therefore, it must be obtained as a third-party driver from the vendor for use within Red Hat Enterprise Linux or Red Hat Enterprise OpenStack Platform. While Red Hat is unable to supply these drivers directly, we will fully support the underlying installation on which these drivers are used. Support for third party applications developed around the Fusion-io ioDrive and dedicated driver is not implied.
Please refer to the following for further details on how Red Hat supports third-party software and other support policies:.
IoMemory 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 posted recently and notes on. 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: Fusion-io ioDrive installation – HP Support Part Number Search Search for the OS, in this case VMware vSphere 5.5.
