Hi,
Is there any support for NVMe drivers in SLES 11?
Thanks
AP
Hi
By the looks it’s in kernels >= 3.3 so not in the current releases. You
would need to build the module. What release of SLES are you talking
about?

Thanks a lot Malcolm for your quick reply.
Hi
I’m assuming you need it for SLES, I can ask my SUSE Contacts if/why
not present in SLES?

Actually I am interested in both the Desktop as well as Server version. That would be certainly helpful. Actually I was surprised to find it in SLED and not SLES, because initially this devices will be more applicable to Server.
Thanks

How difficult is it to build a module for SLES 11 SP3? Can a novice to it? I have a couple nvme devices I would like to try on my power system. gary.geike@hgst.com
Hi
This is a ppc system?
Can you check it’s not present?
/sbin/modinfo nvme–

I currently I have RHEL 7.0 loaded on the machine. I was considering moving to SuSE, because i’m having trouble with nvme on RHEL. Then I read this post and saw nvme was not supported on SLES. So really I was just wondering if there were plans to support nvme on SLES. As for your question, my current driver on RHEL is
