SYNOPSIS

nvme [<global-options>] solidigm vs-internal-log <device>
                        [--log-type=<type> | -t <type>]
                        [--output-dir=<dir> | -d <dir>]

DESCRIPTION

For the NVMe device given, retrieves the Solidigm vendor-specific internal debug log binaries and saves them to the specified output directory.

The <device> parameter is mandatory and may be either the NVMe character device (ex: /dev/nvme0), or a namespace block device (ex: /dev/nvme0n1).

OPTIONS

-t <type>
--log-type=<type>

Specify the type of log to retrieve. Valid options are ALL, CIT, HIT, NLOG, ASSERT, EVENT, and EXTENDED. Defaults to ALL. The EXTENDED option generates logs that may take longer time or affect drive performance, but provides more comprehensive debugging information.

-d <dir>
--output-dir=<dir>

Specify the output directory for the log files. Defaults to the current working directory.

GLOBAL OPTIONS

The following options are defined at the top-level nvme command and are available to this subcommand:

--dry-run

Print the command that would be executed, but do not actually execute it.

--no-ioctl-probing

Disable probing for 64-bit IOCTL support.

--no-retries

Disable retry logic on transient errors.

-o <fmt>
--output-format=<fmt>

Set the reporting format to normal, tabular, 'json, or binary. Only one output format may be used at a time.

--output-format-version=<version>

Select the output format version. Version 1 uses the original field naming, while version 2 (default) provides more consistent and script-friendly field names.

--timeout=<ms>

Set the timeout for the command in milliseconds.

-v
--verbose

Increase the level of detail in the output. May be specified multiple times to further increase verbosity.

EXAMPLES

  • Retrieve all internal logs and save them to the current directory: 

    # nvme solidigm vs-internal-log /dev/nvme0

  • Retrieve a specific log type and save it to a custom directory: 

    # nvme solidigm vs-internal-log /dev/nvme0 -t NLOG -d /tmp/logs

  • Retrieve logs with verbose output: 

    # nvme solidigm vs-internal-log /dev/nvme0 -v

  • Retrieve extended logs: 

    # nvme solidigm vs-internal-log /dev/nvme0 -t EXTENDED
