110.Sh DESCRIPTION
111NVM Express (NVMe) is a storage protocol standard, for SSDs and other
112high-speed storage devices over PCI Express.
113.Pp
114.Ss logpage
115The logpage command knows how to print log pages of various types.
116It also knows about vendor specific log pages from hgst/wdc and intel.
117Page 0xc1 for hgst/wdc contains the advanced smart information about
118the drive.
119Page 0xc1 is read latency stats for intel.
120Page 0xc2 is write latency stats for intel.
121Page 0xc5 is temperature stats for intel.
122Page 0xca is advanced smart information for intel.
123.Pp
124Specifying
125.Fl p
126.Ic help
127will list all valid vendors and pages.
128.Fl x
129will print the page as hex.
130.Fl b
131will print the binary data for the page.
132.Ss format
133Format either specified namespace, or all namespaces of specified controller,
134using specified parameters:
135.Ar fmt
136LBA Format,
137.Ar mset
138Metadata Settings,
139.Ar pi
140Protection Information,
141.Ar pil
142Protection Information Location.
143When formatting specific namespace, existing values are used as defaults.
144When formatting all namespaces, all parameters should be specified.
145Some controllers may not support formatting or erasing specific or all
146namespaces.
147Option
148.Fl E
149enables User Data Erase during format.
150Option
151.Fl C
152enables Cryptographic Erase during format.
153.Ss wdc
154The various wdc command retrieve log data from the wdc/hgst drives.
155The
156.Fl o
157flag specifies a path template to use to output the files.
158Each file takes the path template (which defaults to nothing), appends
159the drive's serial number and the type of dump it is followed
160by .bin.
161These logs must be sent to the vendor for analysis.
162This tool only provides a way to extract them.
163.Sh EXAMPLES
164.Dl nvmecontrol devlist
165.Pp
166Display a list of NVMe controllers and namespaces along with their device nodes.
167.Pp
168.Dl nvmecontrol identify nvme0
169.Pp
170Display a human-readable summary of the nvme0 IDENTIFY_CONTROLLER data.
171.Pp
172.Dl nvmecontrol identify -x -v nvme0ns1
173.Pp
174Display an hexadecimal dump of the nvme0 IDENTIFY_NAMESPACE data for namespace
1751.
176.Pp
177.Dl nvmecontrol perftest -n 32 -o read -s 512 -t 30 nvme0ns1
178.Pp
179Run a performance test on nvme0ns1 using 32 kernel threads for 30 seconds.
180Each thread will issue a single 512 byte read command.
181Results are printed to stdout when 30 seconds expires.
182.Pp
183.Dl nvmecontrol reset nvme0
184.Pp
185Perform a controller-level reset of the nvme0 controller.
186.Pp
187.Dl nvmecontrol logpage -p 1 nvme0
188.Pp
189Display a human-readable summary of the nvme0 controller's Error Information Log.
190Log pages defined by the NVMe specification include Error Information Log (ID=1),
191SMART/Health Information Log (ID=2), and Firmware Slot Log (ID=3).
192.Pp
193.Dl nvmecontrol logpage -p 0xc1 -v wdc nvme0
194.Pp
195Display a human-readable summary of the nvme0's wdc-specific advanced
196SMART data.
197.Pp
198.Dl nvmecontrol logpage -p 1 -x nvme0
199.Pp
200Display a hexadecimal dump of the nvme0 controller's Error Information Log.
201.Pp
202.Dl nvmecontrol logpage -p 0xcb -b nvme0 > /tmp/page-cb.bin
203.Pp
204Print the contents of vendor specific page 0xcb as binary data on
205standard out.
206Redirect it to a temporary file.
207.Pp
208.Dl nvmecontrol firmware -s 2 -f /tmp/nvme_firmware nvme0
209.Pp
210Download the firmware image contained in "/tmp/nvme_firmware" to slot 2 of the
211nvme0 controller, but do not activate the image.
212.Pp
213.Dl nvmecontrol firmware -s 4 -a nvme0
214.Pp
215Activate the firmware in slot 4 of the nvme0 controller on the next reset.
216.Pp
217.Dl nvmecontrol firmware -s 7 -f /tmp/nvme_firmware -a nvme0
218.Pp
219Download the firmware image contained in "/tmp/nvme_firmware" to slot 7 of the
220nvme0 controller and activate it on the next reset.
221.Pp
222.Dl nvmecontrol power -l nvme0
223.Pp
224List all the current power modes.
225.Pp
226.Dl nvmecontrol power -p 3 nvme0
227.Pp
228Set the current power mode.
229.Pp
230.Dl nvmecontrol power nvme0
231.Pp
232Get the current power mode.
233.Sh DYNAMIC LOADING
234The directories
235.Pa /lib/nvmecontrol
236and
237.Pa /usr/local/lib/nvmecontrol
238are scanned for any .so files.
239These files are loaded.
240The members of the
241.Va top
242linker set are added to the top-level commands.
243The members of the
244.Va logpage
245linker set are added to the logpage parsers.
