Generally all 0-based counts are normalized and values may be converted to human-readable units such as MB (megabytes), W (watts), or C (degrees Celsius). .Sh OPTIONS The following options are supported: .Bl -tag -width Ds .It Fl h Print a short help text for .Nm , or for an optionally specified .Nm command. .It Fl d Enable debugging output. .It Fl v Enable verbose output. .El .Sh ARGUMENTS .Nm expects the following kinds of arguments: .Bl -tag -width "ctl[/ns]" .It Ar command Any command .Nm understands. See section .Sx COMMANDS . .It Ar ctl[/ns] Specifies a NVMe controller and optionally a namespace within that controller. The controller name consists of the driver name .Qq nvme followed by an instance number. A namespace is specified by appending a single .Qq / to the controller name, followed by either the namespace ID or the namespace EUI64 or NGUID as reported by the .Cm identify command. The namespace ID is a positive non-zero decimal number. For commands that don't change the device state multiple controllers and namespaces can be specified as a comma-separated list. .Pp The list of controllers and namespaces present in the system can be queried with the .Cm list command without any arguments. .It Ar logpage Specifies the log page name for the .Cm get-logpage command. .It Ar feature-list A comma-separated list of feature names for the .Cm get-features command. Feature names can be specified in upper or lower case. All features can be specified either by a short name listed below or by the full name that the specification uses. .It Ar lba-format A non-zero integer specifying the LBA format for the .Cm format command. The list of supported LBA formats on a namespace can be retrieved with the .Nm .Cm identify command. .It Ar firmware-file Specifies the name of a firmware file to be loaded into the controller using the .Cm load-firmware command. .It Ar offset Specifies the byte offset at which to load .Ar firmware-file within the controller's upload buffer. Vendors may require multiple images to be loaded at different offsets before a firmware set is committed to a .Ar slot . .It Ar scope Specifies the scope of a given type of thing to look at, such as a log page. Scopes can either be specified by their full name or a shortened form. For log pages, the following scopes are supported: .Bl -tag -width Ds .It Sy controller Indicates that the log is scoped to the controller. The short form is .Dq ctrl . .It Sy nvm Indicates that the log is scoped to the NVM subsystem. There is no short form. .It Sy namespace Indicates that the log is scoped to the namespace.

This command implies a .Nm .Cm detach and subsequent .Nm .Cm attach of the specified namespace(s), which will cause a changed LBA format to be detected. If no LBA format is specified the LBA format currently used by the namespace will be used. When formatting all namespaces without specifying a LBA format the LBA format of namespace 1 will be used. A list of LBA formats supported by a namespace can be queried with the .Nm .Cm identify command. .Pp Note that not all devices support formatting individual or all namespaces, or support formatting at all. .Pp LBA formats using a non-zero metadata size are not supported by .Nm or .Xr nvme 4D . .Pp The list of supported LBA formats on a namespace can be retrieved with the .Nm .Cm identify command. .It Xo .Nm .Cm secure-erase .Op Fl c .Ar ctl[/ns] .Xc Erases the specified namespace or all namespaces of the controller. The flag .Fl c will cause a cryptographic erase instead of a normal erase. This command implies a .Nm .Cm detach and .Nm .Cm attach of the specified namespace(s). .Pp Note that not all devices support erasing individual or all namespaces, or support erasing at all. .It Xo .Nm .Cm detach .Ar ctl[/ns] .Xc Temporarily detaches the .Xr blkdev 4D instance from the specified namespace or all namespaces of the controller. This will prevent I/O access to the affected namespace(s). Detach will only succeed if the affected namespace(s) are not currently opened. The detached state will not persist across reboots or reloads of the .Xr nvme 4D driver. .Pp It is not an error to detach a namespace that is already detached, any such request will be silently ignored. .It Xo .Nm .Cm attach .Ar ctl[/ns] .Xc Attaches the .Xr blkdev 4D instance to the specified namespace or all namespaces of the controller. This will make I/O accesses to the namespace(s) possible again after a previous .Nm .Cm detach command. .Pp It is not an error to attach a namespace that is already attached, any such request will be silently ignored. .It Xo .Nm .Cm list-firmware .Ar ctl .Xc List currently active firmware slot, the next active firmware slot, and the current contents of all firmware slots of an NVMe controller. This is a synonym for the .Nm .Cm get-logpage .Ar ctl .Cm firmware command. .It Xo .Nm .Cm load-firmware .Ar ctl .Ar firmware-file .Op Ar offset .Xc Loads .Ar firmware-file into the controller's upload memory at .Ar offset , the default is 0. A vendor may require multiple files to be loaded at different offsets before the firmware is committed to a .Ar slot . .It Xo .Nm .Cm commit-firmware .Ar ctl .Ar slot .Xc Commits firmware previously loaded by the .Cm load-firmware command to .Ar slot . .It Xo .Nm .Cm activate-firmware .Ar ctl .Ar slot .Xc Activates the firmware in slot .Ar slot .

The device remains in full service while this is occurring. .It Xo .Nm .Cm wdc/resize .Fl s Ar size | Fl g .Ar ctl .Xc This vendor-specific command will get the current over provisioning size or set it. This command operates using power of 10 bytes, that is in terms of gigabytes and not gibibytes. The sizes that are used here will be different from those that the operating system will report for the drive. .Pp The following options are supported: .Bl -tag -width Fl .It Fl g Returns the current size of the device in gigabytes .Pq powers of 10 . .It Fl s Ar size Sets the size of the device to .Ar size which is in gigabytes .Pq powers of 10 . This can be used to adjust the over provisioning ratio on the device. The valid points are device-specific. Please consult WDC datasheets for more information. .Pp When performing a resize .Em all data and namespace will be erased ! All namespaces must be detached prior to issuing this. .El .El .Sh EXIT STATUS .Ex -std .Sh EXAMPLES .Bl -tag -width "" .It Sy Example 1: List all NVMe controllers and namespaces .Bd -literal # nvmeadm list nvme1: model: INTEL SSDPEDMD800G4, serial: CVFT4134001R800CGN, FW rev: 8DV10049, NVMe v1.0 nvme1/1 (c1t1d0): Size = 763097 MB, Capacity = 763097 MB, Used = 763097 MB nvme4: model: SAMSUNG MZVPV128HDGM-00000, serial: S1XVNYAGA00640, FW rev: BXW7300Q, NVMe v1.1 nvme4/1 (c2t2d0): Size = 122104 MB, Capacity = 122104 MB, Used = 5127 MB .Ed .It Sy Example 2: Identify a namespace .Bd -literal # nvmeadm identify nvme4/1 nvme4/1: Identify Namespace Namespace Capabilities and Features Namespace Size: 122104MB Namespace Capacity: 122104MB Namespace Utilization: 5127MB Namespace Features Thin Provisioning: unsupported Number of LBA Formats: 1 Formatted LBA Size LBA Format: 1 Extended Data LBA: no Metadata Capabilities Extended Data LBA: unsupported Separate Metadata: unsupported End-to-End Data Protection Capabilities Protection Information Type 1: unsupported Protection Information Type 2: unsupported Protection Information Type 3: unsupported Protection Information first: unsupported Protection Information last: unsupported End-to-End Data Protection Settings Protection Information: disabled Protection Information in Metadata: last 8 bytes LBA Format 1 Metadata Size: 0 bytes LBA Data Size: 512 bytes Relative Performance: Best .Ed .It Sy Example 3: Get SMART/Health information (verbose) .Bd -literal # nvmeadm -v get-logpage nvme4/1 health nvme4/1: SMART/Health Information Critical Warnings Available Space: OK Temperature: OK Device Reliability: OK Media: OK Volatile Memory Backup: OK Temperature: 37C Available Spare Capacity: 100% Available Spare Threshold: 10% Device Life Used: 0% Data Read: 0GB Data Written: 64GB Read Commands: 52907 Write Commands: 567874 Controller Busy: 1min Power Cycles: 6 Power On: 141h Unsafe Shutdowns: 1 Uncorrectable Media Errors: 0 Errors Logged: 1 .Ed .It Sy Example 4: Get Asynchronous Event Configuration information .Bd -literal # nvmeadm get-features nvme0,nvme4 event,power nvme0: Get Features Asynchronous Event Configuration Available Space below threshold: disabled Temperature above threshold: disabled Device Reliability compromised: disabled Media read-only: disabled Power Management Power State: 0 nvme4: Get Features Asynchronous Event Configuration Available Space below threshold: disabled Temperature above threshold: disabled Device Reliability compromised: disabled Media read-only: disabled Volatile Memory Backup failed: disabled Power Management Power State: 0 .Ed .It Sy Example 5: Load and activate firmware .Bd -literal # nvmeadm list-firmware nvme3 nvme3: Firmware Slot Information Active Firmware Slot: 4 Next Firmware Slot: 4 Firmware Revision for Slot 1: KNGND110 (read-only) Firmware Revision for Slot 2: KNGND110 Firmware Revision for Slot 3: KNGND110 Firmware Revision for Slot 4: KNGND112 Firmware Revision for Slot 5: KNGND110 # nvmeadm -v load-firmware nvme3 KNGND113.bin 1740544 bytes downloaded. # nvmeadm -v commit-firmware nvme3 5 Firmware committed to slot 5. # nvmeadm -v activate-firmware nvme3 5 Slot 5 activated: NVM subsystem reset required - power cycle your system. # nvmeadm list-firmware nvme3 nvme3: Firmware Slot Information Active Firmware Slot: 4 Next Firmware Slot: 5 Firmware Revision for Slot 1: KNGND110 (read-only) Firmware Revision for Slot 2: KNGND110 Firmware Revision for Slot 3: KNGND110 Firmware Revision for Slot 4: KNGND112 Firmware Revision for Slot 5: KNGND113 .Ed .It Sy Example 6: Listing Log Pages .Bd -literal # nvmeadm list-logpages nvme8 DEVICE NAME SCOPE FIELDS DESC nvme8 error controller rae Error information nvme8 health controller, rae SMART / Health information namespace nvme8 firmware nvm -- Firmware Slot Information nvme8 changens controller rae changed namespaces nvme8 wdc/eol nvm -- EOL nvme8 wdc/devmgmt controller, -- Device Manageability namespace nvme8 wdc/pciesi controller lsp PCIe Signal Integrity nvme8 wdc/power controller -- Power Samples nvme8 wdc/temp controller -- Temperature Samples nvme8 wdc/fwact controller -- Firmware Activation nvme8 wdc/ccds controller -- CCDS Build Information # nvmeadm list-logpages -p -o name,impl nvme8 firmware firmware:yes .Ed .El .Sh INTERFACE STABILITY The command line interface of .Nm is .Sy Evolving .
