During OS install or reboot testing, Oracle 1.6 TB NVMe SSDs with 8DV1RA12 firmware stop operating.
Under specific conditions, Oracle 1.6 TB NVMe SSDs with 8DV1RA12 firmware undergoing multiple reset or power-off events in a short time span can cause a drive to assert and a stop occurs. The controller places the drive into Disable Logical mode. This ASSERT or BAD_CONTEXT mode shuts down the drive storage device when the internal state of drive metadata could allow the drive to return incorrect data to the host, but the controller will still be visible to the NVMe driver.
Workaround:
Upgrade Oracle 1.6 TB NVMe SSD firmware to 8DV1RA13 or a subsequent release, if available.
