Hot Swap Drives

Intel VMD enables hot-plug and hot-unplug for NVMe SSDs, whether from Intel or other
manufacturers. Under vSphere ESXi, several steps are necessary to avoid potential stability
issues. See the information at link [1] below.

Hot-unplug

1. Prevent devices from being re-detected during rescan:

esxcli storage core claiming autoclaim --enabled=false

2. Unmount the VMFS volumes on the device. Check [2] for details.

3. Detach the device. Check [3] for details.

4. Physically remove the device.

Hot-plug

•

Physically install the device.

ESXi will automatically discover NVMe SSDs, but a manual scan may be required in some
cases.
