NVME-GET-PROPERTY(1)

NAME
nvme-get-property - Reads and shows the defined NVMe controller property for NVMe over Fabric

SYNOPSIS

nvme get-property <device> [--offset=<offset> | -O <offset>]
                        [--human-readable | -H]
                        [--output-format=<fmt> | -o <fmt>] [--verbose | -v]

DESCRIPTION

Reads and shows the defined NVMe controller property for NVMe over Fabric.

OPTIONS

-O <offset>, --offset=<offset>
    The offset of the property. One of CAP=0x0, VS=0x8, CC=0x14, CSTS=0x1c, NSSR=0x20

-H
    --human-readable: Show the fields packed in the property

-o <fmt>, --output-format=<fmt>
    Set the reporting format to normal, json or binary. Only one output format can be used at a time.

-v, --verbose
    Increase the information detail in the output.

EXAMPLES

    • The following will run the get-property command with offset 0

        # nvme get-property /dev/nvme0 --offset=0x0 --human-readable

BUGS

Currently the CAP value is truncated to 32 bits due to a limitation in the ioctl interface.

In a recent enough kernel, the 64 bit value is shown in kernel traces.

    • First enable traces by this command

        # echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/nvme/enable

    • Then look for NVMe Fabrics command (0x7f) at trace

        /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace
