Huawei FusionServer Pro 1288H V5 - Managing VMD; Enabling VMD; Disabling VMD

9.5 Managing VMD
The Intel Volume Management Device (VMD) is a module integrated in the
processor on the Purley platform. It is used for surprise hot plug, management,
and error processing of SSDs.
● To use the VMD function, the iBMC version must be V304 or later. Otherwise,
the iBMC WebUI may fail to display NVMe drive information and the fan
speed cannot be adjusted based on the NVMe drive temperature,
aecting
the heat dissipation of NVMe drives.
● The VMD function must be enabled on the BIOS in UEFI mode only. The BIOS
in legacy mode does not support this setting.
● Use Intelligent Computing Compatibility Checker to obtain information
about the operating systems supported by the VMD function.
● If the VMD function is enabled and the latest VMD driver is installed, the
NVMe drives support surprise hot swap. If the VMD function is disabled,
NVMe drives support orderly hot swap.
