Introduction 11 100GB of storage spac e, using various bloc k sizes. The amount of R AM used in driver version 3.0 is significantly less than the amount used in version 1.
Windows Server environments 12 W indo w s Ser v er e n v ir onmen ts Installati on overview CAUTION: The firmware for all I O Accelerator devices in a system running HP IO Accel erator VSL 3.1.x or later must be upgra ded to the latest version of th e firmware.
Windows Server environments 13 recognizes those driv ers for the IO Accel erator. This situation ca uses issues with th e installation of Version 3.x. After the soft ware is uninst alled and the sy stem is rebooted , Windows op erating system s display a New Hardware Found message and normally do no t find a driver for the n ew device.
Windows Server environments 14 U sing the Setup Wizar d 1. Download the IO Accelerator installat ion program. The Welc ome screen appea rs. 2. Click Next.
Windows Server environments 15 3. If you have a previo us version of the IO Accel erator software in stalled, follow the d irections on the screen to u ninstall it. Otherwise, click Next. The Se lect Installation Folder screen appears. 4. If you want to use the default in stallation location (C: Program Fil es HP IO Accelerator), click Next.
Windows Server environments 16 CAUTION: Changing the default features might aff ect the performance or functionality of the IO Accelerator softwar e. The following feat ures are available: o Device Dr.

Windows Server environments 18 8. Click Finish to exit the Wizard and launch the IO Accelerator software. The installation program performs the foll owing: • Creates a fold er for the IO Accelerator software comp onents (the default pa th is C: Program Files HP IO Accelerator).
Windows Server envir onm ents 19 • Installs and loads the IO Accelera tor Windows® driver . (When complete, you will need to reboot the system. ) • Installs supp ort for SNMP (i f installed, a nd if Microsoft ® SNMP is installed and th e SNMP service i s running).
Windows Server environments 20 The – o overformat option is not suppo rted in the 3.x.x VSL softwa re. All upgraded HP IO Accelerator devices are formatted to the maximum advertised capac ity, regardless of whether the de vice was overformatted prior to the upgrade.
Windows Server environments 21 d. To select a differ ent folder for the inst allation, browse t o the folder and click OK. Th e default fold er is C: Program Files HP IO Accelerator . The uninstaller file is placed in the root of the HP IO Accelerator (default install f older).
Windows Server environments 22 M anually installing on Windows Server 2003 The W indows® Driver W izard automatica lly detects the new IO Accelerator and begins t o locate its driver after you rest art the system . First, Wind ows® promp ts you to locate t he software d river.
Windows Server environments 23 M anually installing on Windows Server 2008 and 2012 The Windows Driver W izard automatically detects th e new IO Accelerator and beg ins to locate its driver after you restart the system. First, the OS prompts yo u to locate the software driver.
Windows Server environments 24 CAUTION: Do not turn of f the power during a firmware upgrade , because this might cause device failure. If a UP S is not in place, consider addin g one to the sy stem before p erforming a firmware upgrade. NOTE: You might be required t o upgrade the IO Acceler ator driver if you upgrade the de vice firmware.
Windows Server environments 25 CAUTION: Be sure to read the Release Not es document th at comes with each new releas e as well as these installa tion instruct ions to ensur e no loss of dat a when performin g upgrades. 2. Follow the steps in " Uninstalling the IO Accele rator driver" unin stall the existing driv er.
Windows Server environments 26 Your Windows® operating system now detects the devices in the RA ID configuration with the upgraded software. D efragmentation The IO Accelerator doe s not need to be defragmented . However, some Win dows® versions a utomatically run defragmentation as a scheduled task.
Windows Server environments 27 You can use the (optional ) HP IO Accelerator Man agement Tool GUI progra m to check for outda ted firmware. To check for ou tdated or old firmware: 1. Launch the IO Accelerat or Management Tool application an d look for any devices that have a warning symbol.
Windows Server env ironments 28 2. Expand HP Storage Works IO Accelerators, and then double - click HP S torageWorks IO Accelerator. The Properties dialog box appears . The Location field shows th e bus number for your devic e ( fct8 in the following example).
Windows Server environments 29 3. After the device i s initialized, you can ad d partitions or volume s. For more informat ion, see the Disk Management documentation. You can create dynamic volumes, which can be used in multi - disk RAID configurati ons (spanned, stripe d, or mirrored).

Trim support 57 T r im support Introduction to Trim Trim is used to addr ess a unique propert y of solid sta te drives. The issue occurs whe n a user delet es a file, an d then the drive that contains the file does not recognize that it can reclaim that space.
Trim support 58 S tarting and stopping Trim To start or stop the Trim service through the Windows® Services Manager: 1. Search for IO Accele rator Trim Service. 2. Click Start service or Stop service. Stopping the servic e only stops it for that session.
Trim support 59 T rim configurations Trim can be used with t he following configura tions and features: • RAID volumes (mirro red, spanned, or striped).
Using Windows page files with the IO Accelerator 60 U sing W indo w s page f iles w ith the IO Acceler ator I ntroduction to Wind ows page files This section d escribes how to ef fectively use pagin g (swap) files on I O Accelerator d evices with Window s® operating sy stems.
Using Windows page files with the IO Accelerator 61 On Windows® operating s ystems, NTFS will gen erally use a cluster size of 4K, so f ormatting to 512 is not useful except for appl ications that are com patible only with 512 - byt e sector sizes (such as Windo ws® XP and Windows Server ® 2003).
Using Windows page files with the IO Accelerator 62 An alternate method to manage (e nable or disable) paging support is to use the IO Accelerator Mana gement Tool. NOTE: You must reload th e IO Accelerator dr iver for the new pr eallocation settin g to take effect.
Using Windows pa ge files with the IO Accelerator 63 S ystem drive pagin g file configuration By default, Windows® operating systems create and manage a page file on the system boot dri ve (typically a hard disk), which i s where the operatin g system is installed .
Using Windows page files with the IO Accelerator 64 V erifying page fil e operation To verify that a page file is acti vely placed on an IO Accelerato r, you can browse for hidden files at the drive root. For example, run the following comm and at a prompt: dir c: /ah In the output listing there should be a file called pagefile.
Performance and tuning 65 P erf or mance and tuning I ntroductio n to perform ance and tuning HP IO Accelerator device s provide high bandwidth and high IOPS and are spec ifically designed to achieve low latency.
Performance and tuning 66 S etting NUMA affinity Servers with a NUMA (Non - Uniform Memory Access) ar chitecture require special in stallation instruction s in order to maximize ioMe mory device performance. These ser vers include the HP ProLiant DL 580 and HP DL980 Servers.
NUMA configuration 67 N UMA conf igur atio n Introduction to NUMA architecture Servers with NUMA (Non - Uniform M emory Access) archit ecture require special installation inst ructions in order to maximize IO A ccelerator device performan ce. These s ervers include the HP DL580 and the HP DL980 server.
NUMA configuration 68 A dvanced con figuratio n example This example server has four N UMA nodes with eight hyper - threaded cores per no de (16 logical processors per node, a total o f 64 log ical process ors in the syst em). This system also u ses the expa nsion config uration and has 11 PCIe expansion slo ts.
