Dell Express Flash NVMe PCIe SSD User’s Guide

NVMe drive properties intermittently not available in iDRAC

Description
NVMe drive properties via sideband (iDRAC) may not be available after a PCIe SSD is hot-inserted into the system. This is most likely to occur if the PCIe SSD is formatted with a file system or has existing data.
Cause
Side band controller on the NVMe drives does not complete initialization in time for iDRAC to inventory the device.
Solution
After an AC power cycle, the system should list the inserted devices in iDRAC.
