Problem

After updating the Fusion-IO driver to 3.x or later from 2.x versions, the Fusion-IO disk devices are no longer claimed by the DMP Array Support Library (ASL). The devices are visible and accessible with operating system commands and may appear in /etc/vx/ddlconfig.info but are not available in DMP or Volume Manager.

Error

Fusion-IO disk devices are present in OS device tree and accessible but fail to be claimed by DMP.

Cause

Fusion-IO has changed the output of 'fio-status -v' in driver version 3.0 and later.

Solution
