Surprise removal of NVMe device
VMware introduced support for surprise removal on NVMe devices starting from VMware ESXi 7.0 onwards. Surprise removal of NVMe is not supported in the previous versions of VMware ESXi when the NVMe device is in use. The user should instead perform orderly removal in VMware ESXi 6.x versions. Dell EMC customized image A02 supports surprise removal of NVMe device. For more information, see
