If the server uses only ES3000 V5 NVMe PCIe SSD and does not use SSD provided by
other vendors. You can use either the NVMe driver integrated in the OS or that provided
by Huawei. For details about how to install Huawei's NVMe driver, see
the Driver.
If the server running Linux uses both ES3000 V5 NVMe PCIe SSD and SSD provided
by other vendors, use the NVMe driver integrated in the OS and you do not need to
install Huawei's NVMe driver.
If Huawei's NVMe driver has been installed in Linux and you need to use SSD provided
by other vendors, uninstall Huawei's NVMe driver.
For Windows Server 2008 R2 or Windows Server 2012, if the KB2990941 patch has
been installed, the OS is integrated with the NVMe driver. To install Huawei's NVMe
driver, uninstall the KB2990941 patch first. For details, see
V5 Driver in Windows.
The following OSs are also integrated with the NVMe driver:
