Installing an NVMe SSD

Installing an NVMe SSD

  • 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 SSDs support only orderly hot swapping.

Installing a Front NVMe Drive

Procedure (VMD Enabled)

  • Use the Computing Product Compatibility Checker to obtain information about the operating systems supported by the VMD function.
  • The VMD can be used only with the following software versions:
    • BIOS 090 or later
    • iBMC 312 or later
    • Latest CPLD version of the drive backplane
  • If multiple NVMe drives need to be replaced, install them one by one. Do not install multiple NVMe drives at the same time.
  • If the OS is RHEL 7.3 and the VMD function is enabled, the OS kernel 3.10.0-514.el7.x86_64 must be used for surprise hot swap of NVMe drives. Otherwise, the operating system may restart.
  • If the VMD function is enabled, the RHEL 7.3 graphical installation interface cannot be accessed. You can use a USB flash drive to access the RHEL 7.3 graphical installation interface.
  1. Check whether a front bezel is installed.

    • If yes, go to 2.
    • If no, go to 3.

  2. Remove the front bezel.

    For details, see Removing the Front Bezel.

  3. Take the spare part out of its ESD bag.
  4. Determine the slot and position of the drive.

    For details, see Drive Configurations and Drive Numbers.

  5. Remove the drive filler.

    Perform this operation only when a drive filler is installed.

  6. Install the driver for NVMe drives.

  7. Install NVMe drives.

    • Windows
      1. Slowly insert the NVMe drive into the slot.

        For details, see Installing an NVMe SSD.

      2. Observe the drive indicators. If the green indicator is steady on and the yellow indicator is off, the NVMe drive is detected and working properly.

        For details, see NVMe Drive Indicators.

      3. Check the status of the newly installed NVMe drive in the system.
        • If the drive status is normal, no further action is required.
        • If the newly installed NVMe drive cannot be identified, perform 7.d to 7.e.
      4. Go to Device Manager and scan for hardware changes.
      5. Check the NVMe drive status on the OS.
    • Linux
      1. Slowly insert the NVMe drive into the slot.

        For details, see Installing an NVMe SSD.

  8. Log in to the iBMC WebUI, and check whether the new component is normal.

    For details, see the Atlas 800 Inference Server iBMC User Guide (Model 3010).

  9. Check whether a front bezel is installed.

    • If yes, go to 10.
    • If no alarms exist, no further action is required.

  10. Install the front bezel.

    For details, see Installing the Front Bezel.

Procedure (VMD Disabled)

  6. Install the driver for NVMe drives.

  7. Install NVMe drives.

    • When replacing an NVMe drive, install a new NVMe drive 30 seconds after the old one is removed.
    • The NVMe drive power-on duration varies with the NVMe drives.
    • For details about how to install an OS on an NVMe drive, see the Huawei Server OS Installation Guide.
    • Windows

    • Linux
      1. Configure kernel parameters.
        1. Log in to the operating system and open the /etc/default/grub file.
        2. Press Insert.
        3. Locate "GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="crashkernel=auto rd.lvm.lv=rhel/root rd.lvm.lv=rhel/swap rhgb quiet" and add a space and then "pciehp.pciehp_force=1 pci=pcie_bus_perf".

          Do not add the content in a new line.
