Power On an NVMe Storage Drive

Before You Begin

  • To perform this task, the hotplug daemon must be enabled on the host.

  • For a list of the virtual PCIe slots of NVMe drives as seen by the operating system, see NVMe Storage Drive Virtual PCIe Slot Designation. Note that the virtual PCIe slot name is not the same as the name on the server front panel label.

  1. Power on the slot for the drive. Type:

    # hotplug enable pcie100

    In this example, pcie100 is the drive labeled NVMe0 on the server front panel.

  2. Confirm that the drive has been enabled and is seen by the system. Type:

    # hotplug list –lc

    The following status is displayed (installed NVMe drives show the ENABLED state).

    # hotplug list -lc
Connection           State           Description
Path                          
-------------------------------------------------------
pcie100              ENABLED         PCIe-Native
/pci@0,0/pci8086,2f06@2,2/pci111d,80b5@0/pci111d,80b5@4
pcie101              ENABLED         PCIe-Native
/pci@0,0/pci8086,2f06@2,2/pci111d,80b5@0/pci111d,80b5@5
pcie102              ENABLED         PCIe-Native
/pci@0,0/pci8086,2f06@2,2/pci111d,80b5@0/pci111d,80b5@6
pcie103              ENABLED         PCIe-Native
/pci@0,0/pci8086,2f06@2,2/pci111d,80b5@0/pci111d,80b5@7
  3. To check the NVMe drive health, firmware level, temperature, get error log, SMART data, low level format, etc., type:

    # nvmeadm list
