Removing and Replacing an NVMe Storage Drive Using Oracle Solaris
Note - NVMe storage drives are only supported on servers running the Oracle Solaris or Oracle Linux operating system. Servers running Oracle VM, Windows Server, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, or VMware ESXi do not support NVMe drives.
 | Caution - The virtual PCIe slot for an NVMe storage drive must be powered off before replacement. The power off procedure is done using operating system commands. Failure to power off the virtual PCIe slot for an NVMe drive before a hotplug action can not only cause data loss, but it can also crash the operating system. |
This section provides instructions for how to remove and replace an NVMe storage drive on a server that is running the Oracle Solaris operating system.
