98.Sh DESCRIPTION
99NVM Express (NVMe) is a storage protocol standard, for SSDs and other
100high-speed storage devices over PCI Express.
101.Pp
102.Ss logpage
103The logpage command knows how to print log pages of various types.
104It also knows about vendor specific log pages from hgst/wdc and intel.
105Page 0xc1 for hgst/wdc contains the advanced smart information about
106the drive.
107Page 0xc1 is read latency stats for intel.
108Page 0xc2 is write latency stats for intel.
109Page 0xc5 is temperature stats for intel.
110Page 0xca is advanced smart information for intel.
111.Ss wdc
112The various wdc command retrieve log data from the wdc/hgst drives.
113The
114.Fl o
115flag specifies a path template to use to output the files.
116Each file takes the path template (which defaults to nothing), appends
117the drive's serial number and the type of dump it is followed
118by .bin.
119These logs must be sent to the vendor for analysis.
120This tool only provides a way to extract them.
121.Sh EXAMPLES
122.Dl nvmecontrol devlist
123.Pp
124Display a list of NVMe controllers and namespaces along with their device nodes.
125.Pp
126.Dl nvmecontrol identify nvme0
127.Pp
128Display a human-readable summary of the nvme0 IDENTIFY_CONTROLLER data.
129.Pp
130.Dl nvmecontrol identify -x -v nvme0ns1
131.Pp
132Display an hexadecimal dump of the nvme0 IDENTIFY_NAMESPACE data for namespace
1331.
134.Pp
135.Dl nvmecontrol perftest -n 32 -o read -s 512 -t 30 nvme0ns1
136.Pp
137Run a performance test on nvme0ns1 using 32 kernel threads for 30 seconds.
138Each thread will issue a single 512 byte read command.
139Results are printed to stdout when 30 seconds expires.
140.Pp
141.Dl nvmecontrol reset nvme0
142.Pp
143Perform a controller-level reset of the nvme0 controller.
144.Pp
145.Dl nvmecontrol logpage -p 1 nvme0
146.Pp
147Display a human-readable summary of the nvme0 controller's Error Information Log.
148Log pages defined by the NVMe specification include Error Information Log (ID=1),
149SMART/Health Information Log (ID=2), and Firmware Slot Log (ID=3).
150.Pp
151.Dl nvmecontrol logpage -p 0xc1 -v wdc nvme0
152.Pp
153Display a human-readable summary of the nvme0's wdc-specific advanced
154SMART data.
155.Pp
156.Dl nvmecontrol logpage -p 1 -x nvme0
157.Pp
158Display a hexadecimal dump of the nvme0 controller's Error Information Log.
159.Pp
160.Dl nvmecontrol logpage -p 0xcb -b nvme0 > /tmp/page-cb.bin
161.Pp
162Print the contents of vendor specific page 0xcb as binary data on
163standard out.
164Redirect it to a temporary file.
165.Pp
166.Dl nvmecontrol firmware -s 2 -f /tmp/nvme_firmware nvme0
167.Pp
168Download the firmware image contained in "/tmp/nvme_firmware" to slot 2 of the
169nvme0 controller, but do not activate the image.
170.Pp
171.Dl nvmecontrol firmware -s 4 -a nvme0
172.Pp
173Activate the firmware in slot 4 of the nvme0 controller on the next reset.
174.Pp
175.Dl nvmecontrol firmware -s 7 -f /tmp/nvme_firmware -a nvme0
176.Pp
177Download the firmware image contained in "/tmp/nvme_firmware" to slot 7 of the
178nvme0 controller and activate it on the next reset.
179.Pp
180.Dl nvmecontrol power -l nvme0
181.Pp
182List all the current power modes.
183.Pp
184.Dl nvmecontrol power -p 3 nvme0
185.Pp
186Set the current power mode.
187.Pp
188.Dl nvmecontrol power nvme0
189.Pp
190Get the current power mode.
