3 PCIe SSD Configuration
Configuration support for Express Flash NVMe PCIe SSD devices Storage Subsystem is introduced in 13Th
Generation release onwards. In this case , the configurations do not require a reboot . Configurations can
still be done through staged ( Scheduled and it requires reboot to see the effect ) based on the request
from the interface layer.
During a job creation , If a new optional parameter ( apply now with out reboot – RealTime , apply now
with reboot – Staged ) is specified from the interface layer , based on the new parameter , operations (
Real or Staged ) would be performed.
In order to apply the pending values , one has to create a job which can be real time or staged as
mentioned earlier.
If Real time only operation is pending, no staged only operations allowed, but operations that could be
done either ways (staged or real time) will be allowed to be set, but done via real time .
If Staged only operation is pending, no real time only operations allowed, but operations that could be
done either ways( staged or real time) will be allowed , but done via staged .
3.1 Blink/UnBlink for PCIe SSD
This Blink operation blinks one of the LED in the disk and is performed to locate a disk with in a system.
Unblink operation unblinks the LED in the disk. This operation is real time and do not require a job to
create. It is an immediate operation.
In order to blink the PCIe SSD , use the following WSMAN command.
winrm i BlinkTarget
cimv2/root/dcim/DCIM_RAIDService?SystemCreationClassName=DCIM_ComputerSystem+CreationClass
Name=DCIM_RAIDService+SystemName=DCIM:ComputerSystem+Name=DCIM:RAIDService -
u:<UserName> -p:<Password> -r:https://< IP-Adress>/wsman -SkipCNcheck -SkipCAcheck -
encoding:utf-8 -a:basic @{Target=< FQDD of the PCIeSSD>}
Example : After running the above command , output looks like below upon successful .
BlinkTarget_OUTPUT
RebootRequired = NO
ReturnValue = 0

In order to unblink the PCIe SSD , use the following WSMAN command.
winrm i UnBlinkTarget
Example : After running the above command , output looks like below upon successful .
UnBlinkTarget_OUTPUT
RebootRequired = NO
ReturnValue = 0
3.1.2 Using RACADM
In order to blink the PCIe SSD, use the below command format
syntax: racadm storage blink:<PCIeSSD FQDD>
Example:
/admin1-> racadm storage blink:Disk.Bay.8:Enclosure.Internal.0-1:PCIeExtender.Slot.3
STOR095 : Storage operation is successfully completed.
In order to unblink the PCIe SSD, use the below command format
syntax: racadm storage unblink:<PCIeSSD FQDD>
Example:
/admin1-> racadm storage unblink:Disk.Bay.8:Enclosure.Internal.0-1:PCIeExtender.Slot.3
STOR095 : Storage operation is successfully completed

3.1.3 Using GUI
In order to blink/unblink the PCIe SSD , use the below navigation
3.2 Prepare to Remove for PCIe SSD
The Prepare to Remove operation shall be used to safely remove a PCIe SSD drive from the system. This
operation stops any background activity and any ongoing I/O activity so that device can be removed
safely.
After the drive is removed, it can be replaced by either another PCIe SSD drive or SAS/SATA drive.

This operation causes the status LEDs on the device to blink. The drive can be safely removed from the
system under the following conditions after the Prepare to Remove operation:
 The PCIe SSD is blinking the safe to remove LED pattern.
 The PCIe SSD is no longer accessible by the system.
This feature is supported only at run-time. Since there is no support through sideband for this operation
currently, the ISM infrastructure will be used for this operation.
NOTE: The Supporting Operating system should have NVMe driver loaded for this operation.
NOTE: If linux fails to boot and prompts for the root password, see below:
A stale volume mount point is still present after a device removal or cryptographic erase.
Perform the following steps to recover from this situation:
1. Enter the root password to enter maintenance mode.
2. Remount the root filesystem as read-write using the following command:
 mount -orw,remount/
Or
Manually edit /etc/fstab to remove the non-existent device entry.
To prepare the Express Flash NVMe PCIe SSD devices for removal, use the below WSMAN command
winrm i PrepareToRemove
Job is Created by using DCIM_RAIDService .CreateTargetedConfigJob( ) method to apply the pending
values . To create a RealTime job which does not require reboot use the below WSMAN command.
winrm i CreateTargetedConfigJob http://schemas.dell.com/wbem/wscim/1/cim-
schema/2/root/dcim/DCIM_RAIDService?__cimnamespace=root/dcim+SystemCreationClassName=DCI

3.3 Secure erase for PCIe SSD
Secure erase is instant cryptographic erase of data on PCIe SSD devices and all the data on the PCIe SSD
device will be permanently lost.During Secure Erase, the device is not accessible.
While trying from WSMAN , RACADM and GUI interfaces , User should have iDRAC Server control privilege to
perform this operation.There is no sideband support for this operation currently.Hence this operation is
supported only in staged mode and not run-time.
The device will not execute the command immediately. A host reboot is required for the command to take
effect.
To Perform the Secure Erase operation on PCIe SSD drive, use the below command.
winrm i SecureErase
