No, you do not need to mirror. The Fusion-io cards do have quite good internal redundancy. This isn't the kind of hardware where your disk is a single chip. In most of the situations where I've observed failure, it's been a firmware problem that has affected both members of a mirror so RAID would not have mattered. No, you do not need to mirror.

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.
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
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:

Fusion-io ioDrives like SSDs offer flash memory for the permanent storage of data. The memory chips are directly on an x4 PCIe card and therefore, unlike SSDs, do not have SATA, or SAS connections. Through its own driver read and write access are addressed directly on the card (ioMemory VSL, Virtual Storage Layer).[1][2] This enables a very high I/O performance, which is rarely achieved with conventional RAID systems. Booting directly from the ioDrive is not possible due to the necessary driver. They are significantly more expensive compared to normal ioDrive SSDs, but offer higher performance. They are therefore especially suitable for I/O-intensive applications that require a high number of possible I/O operations per second (IOPS).
Properties
- Capacity: 160 GB (SLC), 320 GB (MLC), 640 GB (MLC)[3]
- Supported Operating Systems: 64-Bit Microsoft Server 2003/2008, 64-Bit Microsoft Windows XP/Vista/Win7, RHEL 4/5, SLES 10/11, OEL v4/v5[4], in der Within the list of supported Linux core versions there is also a list including Debian and Ubuntu cores.
- Cache: Fusion-io ioDrive does not use DRAM cache such as in hard drives or SSDs. Therefore, cache content will not be lost in case of a power failure. [5]
- CPU: the ioDrive does not have its own CPU.[6]
- Monitoring: by fio-snmp-agentx SNMP Agent[7]
