Questions[fusionio](server)

We bought 2 Fusion-io ioDrive 2 PCIe Cards on a very good deal. They are 1.2 TB each. These cards are the stock Fusion-io Cards, not the HP rebranded ones (the ones with custom HP firmware)

We have tried both cards on 2 different HPe DL380p gen8 servers, but none of them recognises any of the cards. Bios and iLO4 both say that PCIe slots are empty. We have tried different PCIe Slots and even different PCIe Risers. Since the servers don't detect them I can't even check which FW version they are running.

Both DL380p servers have current firmware and ROM with SPP 10.16.

I don't think the ioDrives are DOA, but I suspect there might be some compatibility issue. Before I return them, I would like to know if someone has tried these cards, but the stock Fusion-io (or Sandisk) on an HPe Gen8 server Any help or tip will be greatly appreciated.

I have a requirement to write a script that collects inventory data of FusionIO drives from a Linux server.

The only method that I've been able to find is the fio-status utility, but it's designed to output human-readable text, not machine-parsable text. I could scrape it, but that's dirty.

I checked /proc/fusion but it doesn't have enough information to be of any use.

I'm hoping there's a better way, be it some sort of way to interface with libiodrivesdk.so or an already-existing utility to do this job.

I was originally using v1.2.7.2. On Shane's recommendation I upgraded to 2.2.3.66.

fio-status now has a -fk option that outputs:

sles11-live:~ # fio-status -fk

Ugh, I was hoping for JSON but beggars can't be choosers.
