Before attempting to perform a hot plug action on your the Virtualized M2 NEM, first configure any blade host running a Linux operating system specified in the workaround listed below to support PCIe hot plug
To configure the system for PCIe device hot plug:
install acpiphp /bin/true
In Oracle Linux or RHEL 5.x, enter the commands at a terminal prompt:
# echo modprobe pciehp >> /etc/rc.modules
# chmod +x /etc/rc.modules
Note - This step is not required for Oracle Linux or RHEL 6.x as PCIe hot plug support is built-in.
In SLES, open the /etc/sysconfig/kernel configuration file in a text editor. Change:
MODULES_LOADED_ON_BOOT=""
to:
MODULES_LOADED_ON_BOOT="pciehp"
# modprobe pciehp
