Unmount an NVMe Storage Drive
1.
Log in to Oracle Linux that is running on the server.
2.
Remove the NVMe storage device path.
a.
To find the PCIe addresses (Bus Device Function), type:
# find /sys/devices |egrep ‘nvme[0-9][0-9]?$’
This commands returns output similar to the following:
/sys/devices/pci0000:80/0000:80:03.0/0000:b0:00.0/0000:b1:04.0/0000:b2:00.0/misc/
nvme0
/sys/devices/pci0000:80/0000:80:03.0/0000:b0:00.0/0000:b1:05.0/0000:b4:00.0/misc/
nvme1
In the above listing the PCIe addresses are highlighted in bold text.
b.
To obtain the slot number (APIC ID) for the bus address, type the following
command to list all of the PCIe slot numbers and the corresponding bus
addresses:
