Does Intel® Virtual RAID on CPU (Intel® VROC) Support Hot-Plug in NVMe* M.2 Drives?

Description

Does Intel VROC support NVMe M.2 hotplug? From the VROC spec I can not find information related to it. Is it possible to design a module to support dual M.2 with hotplug ?

Resolution

Intel® VROC supports hot-plug; however any platform level or form factor level limitations supersede Intel® VROC functionality. For example, M.2 devices do not support hot-plug or LED management, so these Intel® VROC features are not available with M.2 devices.

This limitation is not an Intel® VROC limitation. It is really a limitation of the specific form-factor or platform implementation.
