NOTE: Do not replace any hardware components while performing these steps.
1. All the VMs configured memory must be reserved. If each VM has 2 GB of memory allocated, you
should reserve all 2 GB. To do this by using the vSphere Client, select the Reserve all guest memory
option from the Memory drop-down menu under the Resources tab in a Virtual Machine’s
Settings window. For more information, see the VMware Knowledge Base article 1010789.
2. For VMs that have more than 2 GB of configured memory, add this parameter to the .vmx file of the
VM: pciHole.start = “2048”.
NOTE: The guest OS should be turned off before editing the .vmx file.
3. By using the vSphere Client, connect NVMe PCIe SSD installer that is configured as passthrough
devices directly to the ESXi host, or select the host in vCenter.
4. Right-click the VM and select Edit Settings.

6. Select the NVMe PCIe SSD as the passthrough device to connect to the VM from the drop-down
list, and then click Next.
7. Click Finish.
