fio-attach
Description
Attaches the ioDrive and makes it available to Windows. You can then partition,
format, or set up the ioDrive as part of a RAID array using the Windows Disk
Management utility. This command displays a progress bar and percentage as it
completes the attach process.
Note: In most cases, the ioDrive driver automatically attaches the device at boot time.
You only need to run fio-attach if you ran fio-detach or if you create and set the
ioDrive’s AutoAttach parameter in the Windows Registry to 0. (See Disabling Auto-
Attach for details.)
Syntax
fio-attach [-q, -h, -v]
where < device-node > is the name given by the ioDrive driver to your device. This
name is /dev/fctx where x indicates the PCIe bus number where you installed the
ioDrive. (For example, the name /dev/fct4 refers to the ioDrive installed in PCIe
Bus 4 in your Windows system. Use ioManager or fio-status to view this bus number.)
Option
fio-detach
Description
Detaches the ioDrive and removes the corresponding “fctx” ioDrive block device from
the OS. The fio-detach command will wait until the device completes all read/write
activity before executing the detach operation. The command also displays a progress
bar and percentage as it completes the detach.
Caution: Before using this utility, ensure that the device you want
to detach is not currently mounted and in use.
Syntax
fio-detach [-i, -q, -h, -v]
-q Quiet: Runs the Attach process without displaying the progress bar or
percentage.
