SYNOPSIS

nvme [<global-options>] toshiba vs-smart-add-log <device>
                        [--log=<NUM>, -l <NUM>]
                        [--namespace-id=<NUM>, -n <NUM>]
                        [--output-file=<FILE>, -O <FILE>]

DESCRIPTION

For the NVMe device given, sends the Toshiba vendor log request and either saves the result to a file or dumps the content to stdout.

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

The log contents may be associated with the controller, in which case the namespace parameter is ignored.

Two logs exist, page 0xC0 (log page directory) and page 0xCA (vendor log page)

This will only work on Toshiba devices supporting this feature.

OPTIONS

-l <NUM>
--log=<NUM>

Log page: 0xC0 or 0xCA (defaults to 0xCA)

-n <NUM>
--namespace-id=<NUM>
-O <FILE>
--output-file=<FILE>

Output binary file. Defaults to text-formatted dump to stdout

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

  • Get the current log from the device and dumps it to stdout: 

    # nvme toshiba vs-smart-add-log /dev/nvme0

  • Get the contents of log page 0xC0 from the device and save to a binary file: 

    # nvme toshiba vs-smart-add-log /dev/nvme0 --output-file=log.bin --log=0xC0
