Collecting FusionIO inventory
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
; Retrieving Fusion-io product information...
[driver]
total_ioDimms=4
ioDrive_Duos=2
driver_version=unavailable
sdk_api_version=unavailable
[adapter 1]
product_name=IBM 640GB High IOPS MD Class PCIe Adapter
product_number=68Y7381
…
Ugh, I was hoping for JSON but beggars can't be choosers.
Try fio-status -fx
for XML, or fio-status -fj
for JSON.
If they don't work, mind checking which version of the tool you've got?
Edit: Well, let's post-date this answer. These options will be available in 3.0.
