NVMECTL(8) FreeBSD System Manager's Manual NVMECTL(8)
NAME
nvmectl - NVM Express control utility
SYNOPSIS
nvmectl devlist
nvmectl identify [-x [-v]] device_id
nvmectl logpage [-x] [-p page_id] [-v vendor-string] [-b]
device_id|namespace_id
nvmectl power [-l] [-s] [-p power_state] [-w workload_hint] device_id
nvmectl wdc cap-diag [-o -path_template] device_id
DESCRIPTION
NVM Express (NVMe) is a storage protocol standard, for SSDs and other
high-speed storage devices over PCI Express.
power
The power command controls the supported power states. -l will list
supported power states. -p will set the power state to specified value.
-w will set workload value. With -s, the specified power state and
workload value is saved, so it persists any autonomous transitions and
resets. Support for saving the values is optional, and depends on the
controller.
logpage
The logpage command knows how to print log pages of various types. It
also knows about vendor specific log pages from hgst/wdc and intel. Page
0xc1 for hgst/wdc contains the advanced smart information about the
drive. Page 0xc1 is read latency stats for intel. Page 0xc2 is write
latency stats for intel. Page 0xc5 is temperature stats for intel. Page
0xca is advanced smart information for intel.
Specifying -p help will list all valid vendors and pages. -x will print
the page as hex. -b will print the binary data for the page.
wdc
The various wdc commands retrieve log data from the wdc/hgst drives. The
-o flag specifies a path template to use to output the files. Each file
takes the path template (which defaults to nothing), appends the drive's
serial number and the type of dump it is followed by .bin. These logs
must be sent to the vendor for analysis. This tool only provides a way
to extract them.
EXAMPLES
nvmectl devlist
Display a list of NVMe controllers and namespaces along with their device
nodes.
nvmectl identify nvme0
Display a human-readable summary of the nvme0 IDENTIFY_CONTROLLER data.
nvmectl identify -x -v nvme0ns1
Display an hexadecimal dump of the nvme0 IDENTIFY_NAMESPACE data for
namespace 1.
nvmectl logpage -p 1 nvme0
Display a human-readable summary of the nvme0 controller's Error
Information Log. Log pages defined by the NVMe specification include
Error Information Log (ID=1), SMART/Health Information Log (ID=2), and
Firmware Slot Log (ID=3).
nvmectl logpage -p 0xc1 -v wdc nvme0
Display a human-readable summary of the nvme0's wdc-specific advanced
SMART data.
nvmectl logpage -p 1 -x nvme0
Display a hexadecimal dump of the nvme0 controller's Error Information
Log.
nvmectl logpage -p 0xcb -b nvme0 > /tmp/page-cb.bin
Print the contents of vendor specific page 0xcb as binary data on
standard out. Redirect it to a temporary file.
nvmectl power -l nvme0
List all the current power modes.
nvmectl power -p 3 nvme0
Set the current power mode.
nvmectl power nvme0
Get the current power mode.
HISTORY
The nvmecontrol utility appeared in FreeBSD 9.2.
