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