RHEL NVMe hotplug at times fails to recognise a plugged in disk.
Issue
At Random times NVMe will not hotplugin a disk that was earlier removed.
The following will show in /var/log/messages with XXXXX representing a valid disk name.
kernel: nvme XXXXX: Device not ready; aborting initialisation
kernel: nvme XXXXX: Removing after probe failure status: -19
This disk is then lost until the NVME driver is reloaded.
Environment
- RedHat Entreprize Linux Versions 7 & 8
- NVMe PCIe hotplugable disk
