Download Realtek HD Audio Driver for Windows 7/Windows 8 (Sound Card). About Sound Card Drivers: Usually, Windows operating systems apply a generic audio driver that allows computers to recognize the sound card component and make use of its basic functions. We would like to show you a description here but the site won’t allow us. Commercial Support. Fusion-io Driver for Windows 7 (64-bit), Windows 8.1 (64-bit) - ThinkStation P500, P700 and P900 - Lenovo Support (US) - it extracts all the files to C: SWTOOLS DRIVERS FussionIO ghssd03ws14driver (contains management software and driver, both seperate installs but requires the card firmware be above the level mine is on 7.1.3 or something, its so close to being a version that works its just stupid.).
As a prequel to my upcoming FusionIO performance benchmarking articles I thought I would quickly demonstrate how easy it is to install the FusionIO drivers for VMware ESXi.
First you need to download the drivers from https://support.fusionio.com/downloads , you will need to register to access the support website.
Once you login you need to click the Downloads button and you will see the “Identify Product” section appear similar to the below. Select “IODrive2” , The suitable VMware ESXi version, and for option 3, the latest version.
Then you should see the below available downloads.
The file you need is the “Fusion-IO_libvsl-offline-bundle-%version%” file which is under “Utilities”.
Download the file and extract the zip file, and you should see similar to the below.
Now we need to either copy the vib file to a datastore OR use something like WinSCP to copy the file to the host.
The easiest way in my opinion is to copy the file to a datastore via vSphere client.
To do this, goto the “configuration” tab for your ESXi host/s , select “storage” under the “Hardware” section, then select your datastore.
Now right click the datastore and select “Browse Datastore”
Once in your datastore, click this icon and you will see the below appear.
Select the VIB file and press “Open”
The file should now upload, and you will see a progress window like the below.
Once the file is in your datastore, make note of the path assuming you didn’t use the root of the datastore.
Now click “Security Profile” under the “Software” section (see below).
Now click “Properties” for the “Firewall” and you will see the below appear.
Ensure “SSH Server” is ticked like the above and press Ok.
Your now ready to SSH to your ESXi host using a program such as PuTTY.
Open PuTTY, enter the IP or hostname for your ESXi host, select SSH (Port 22) and press Connect.
You will be prompted for credentials, I am using “root” in this example.
After entering your credentials, you should see the below screen.
Now we use “esxcli” to install the VIB by using the following command
“esxcli software vib install -v /vmfs/volumes/*DATASTORENAME*/Fusionio_bootbank_block-iomemory-vsl_3.1.5.126-1OEM.500.0.0.472560.vib”
Once Installed, you should see something similar to the below.
Now to verify the driver has installed, we can use the “esxcli software vib list” command which should give us a result similar to the below.
Now if the driver appears like the above, reboot your host.
Once you have rebooted, SSH back to your host, and we now need to format the FusionIO card.
To do this use the below command.
Fusion Io Windows 10 Driver
Now you should be able to open the vSphere client, select your host and goto the configuration tab, Select “Storage Adapters” and you should see the FusionIO card show up like the below.
Now you can return to the “Storage” menu and use “add Storage” too format the card with VMFS.
Now your ready to use your FusionIO card.

Any time the kernel is upgraded, you’ll need to recompile and reinstall the drivers. As such, it is important to plan your kernel upgrades in advance and perform testing after the first boot using a new kernel.
If you are an IBM customer using IBM High IOPS adapters, please refer instead to the latest IBM documentation, drivers and firmware located at IBM Fix Central.
The 2.3.x driver builds and runs on a much wider range of kernels than the 1.2.x driver series. It accomplishes this using a new portability layer to abstract itself away from the operating system internals. By following the procedure below, you will obtain a working driver, built for the specific kernel running on your system.
Fusion Io Ioscale Drivers
Follow the instructions based on the version of your driver.
Building the Fusion-io Drivers From Source
To view a step-by-step screencast of this process, click here.
Before beginning, download the ioDrive driver source rpm for RHEL from the Dell Fusion-io support site to a temporary directory. At minimum, you’ll need the latest version of the following packages:
- fio-common
- fio-firmware
- fio-sysvinit
- fio-util
- iomemory-vsl
- libfio
Here’s a screenshot showing the packages that need to be downloaded.
Remove prior versions of the ioDrive driver rpm
For Red Hat Enterprise 5, install the gcc 4.x and kernel-devel packages for your current kernel. The kernel-headers package is also needed, but is typically installed as part of the base operating system.
Change to the directory where you downloaded the ioDrive driver source RPM and begin the rebuild process.
Install the newly-built drivers.
Check the status of the ioDrive(s):
Upgrading the Fusion-io Firmware
In the previous section, you should have already downloaded and installed the latest firmware package. If not, you may download the fio-firmware package from the Fusion-io Support website to proceed. Once the firmware package is installed, it needs to be applied to the cards.
To upgrade the firmware:
Watch the output of the upgrade process and reboot when complete.
Update the Fusion-io Init Scripts
Fusion Io Card
Uncomment the blacklist line:
Backup /etc/fstab, and modify it to add “noauto 0 0” to the datavg filesystems:
Example:
Uncomment “ENABLED=1” in /etc/sysconfig/iomemory-vsl to enable init script:
In the same /etc/sysconfig/iomemory-vsl file, add the RAID array(s) and mount points. For example:
Enable the init script:
