What Is PCIe SSD?

Performing A Cryptographic Erase On An NVMe PCIe SSD In Slot Card

Does my controller support this feature? See Supported Features.

NOTE: After you hot plug an NVMe PCIe SSD, the NVMe PCIe SSD may take several seconds to be

displayed on Storage Management.

CAUTION: Cryptographic Erase permanently erases all data present on the disk.

Performing a Cryptographic Erase on an NVMe PCIe SSD overwrites all blocks and results in permanent

loss of all data on the NVMe PCIe SSD. During Cryptographic Erase, the host is unable to access the

NVMe PCIe SSD.

NOTE: If the system reboots or experiences a power loss during a Cryptographic Erase, the

operation is canceled. You must reboot the system and restart the operation.

NOTE: On systems running the VMware vSphere (ESXi) operating system, Storage Management

performs only the Cryptographic Erase task and does not report the status of the task. If the

Cryptographic Erase task does not function as expected for some NVMe devices, the status is not

reported or displayed on Server Administrator.
