PCI Express Solid-State Drive support

This section provides an overview of the Storage Management device management support for Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) Solid-State Drive (SSD) and its associated devices like the backplane and extender card.

In Storage Management, PCIe SSD appears under Storage in the tree view. Storage Management reports the PCIe SSD devices and its various properties.

NOTE:  Storage Management does not support RAID management or configuration on PCIe SSD sub systems.
NOTE:  Storage Management enumerates around 150 seconds for hot plug insertion or removal, or prepares to remove operation on systems running VMware Sphere ESXi, while all other operating systems take 10 seconds.
NOTE: On SUSE Linux Enterprise 15.0, the NVMe device protocol version is enumerated as 0.0.
NOTE: Intel P4800x NVMe is not supported with software RAID controller.
NOTE: The Device name field of NVMe drives is displayed as char device name on PCIe subsystems running on Linux operating system.
NOTE: On VMware ESXi operating system, the enumeration of hot plugged direct CPU-attached NVMe drives may take a maximum duration of 3 minutes.
