HP PCIe IO Accelerator for ProLiant Servers

Appendix C: Utilities Reference 36
fio-format <device> [-q, -s <device-size>, -u, -h, -v]
where <device> is the name given by the PCIe IO Accelerator driver to your device.
This name is
/dev/fctx, where x indicates the device number. (The number reflects
the PCIe bus for the PCIe IO Accelerator.) For example, the name
/dev/fct4 refers to
the PCIe IO Accelerator installed in PCIe Bus 4 in your system. (Use
fio-status to
view this number.)
Options
-q Quit on erase error.
-s <device-size>
Sets the storage size by a number and one of the following units as a suffix:
 % Percentage of drive for user data
 t/T Number of terabytes to format
 g/G Number of gigabytes to format
 m/M Number of megabytes to format
For example, setting the size as either 90% or 72GB on an 80GB PCIe IO
Accelerator both result in the same capacity for user data—72GB.
-u Quiet: disables the display of the progress percentage and spinning activity
icon.
fio-pci-check
Description
Checks for errors on the PCI bus tree, specifically for PCIe IO Accelerators. This utility
displays the current status of each PCIe IO Accelerator. It also prints the standard PCI
Express error information and resets the state.
It is perfectly normal to see a few errors (perhaps as many as five) when
fio-pci-
check
is initially run. Subsequent runs should reveal only one or two errors during
several hours of operation.
NOTE: The driver must be loaded to run this utility.
Syntax
fio-pci-check [-d <value>, -f, -i, -r, -v, -y, -h]
Options
-d <value> 1 = Disable the link; 0 = bring the link up
