Cannot add namespaces to Samsung Electronics Co Ltd NVMe SSD Controller PM173X [144d:a824] NVMe devices using HPE OEM firmware MPK7825Q

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

When creating NVMe namespaces, the first namespace is created successfully, but subsequent namespaces (2-64) fail despite the NVMEe supporting up to 64 namespaces and having sufficient space (see diagnostic section).

Note: This has only been seen when using HPE OEM firmware for Samsung PM1733 MZXL53T2HBLS-00AH3 NVMe drive.

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9
  • Samsung PM1733 MZXL53T2HBLS-00AH3 NVMe drive
    • NVMe Models with Firmware Version MPK7825Q
