# hotplug list -lc
c.
Power down the NVMe drive.
# hotplug poweroff /SYS/DBP/NVME0
Check that the drive's state has changed from POWERED to PRESENT.
# hotplug list -lc
In this state, the blue OK to Remove LED on the NVMe drive is lit.
Note -
Do not remove the drive unless the blue OK to Remove LED is lit.
