Unmount an NVMe Storage Drive
1.
Log in to Oracle Solaris that is running on the server.
2.
To find the NVMe drive slot number, type:
# hotplug list –lc
This command produces output similar to the following for each of the NVMe drives installed
in the server:
# hotplug list –lc
Connection State Description Path

Slot900 ENABLED PCIe-Native /pci@13,0/pci8086,2030@0/pci111d,80b5@0/pci111d,80b5@5
3.
To prepare the NVMe drive for removal, that is, to detach the device driver and
power off the drive slot, type the following commands:
# hotplug poweroff Slot900
# hotplug list –lc
The following output appears for the NVMe drive that has been unmounted:
# hotplug list –lc
Connection State Description Path
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Slot900 PRESENT PCIe-Native /pci@13,0/pci8086,2030@0/pci111d,80b5@0/pci111d,80b5@5

Verify that the OK to Remove indicator (LED) on the NVMe storage drive is lit.
