nvme-ocp-eol-plp-failure-mode1
Define and print eol or plp circuitry failure mode
Usage
nvme [<global-options>] ocp eol-plp-failure-mode <device>
[--mode=<mode> | -m <mode>]
[--no-uuid | -n]
[--save | -s]
[--sel=<select> | -S <select>]
Overview
Define EOL or PLP circuitry failure mode. No argument prints current mode.
The <device> parameter is mandatory and may be either the NVMe character device (ex: /dev/nvme0) or block device (ex: /dev/nvme0n1).
This will only work on OCP compliant devices supporting this feature. Results for any other device are undefined.
On success it returns 0, error code otherwise.
Options
-
-m <mode>, --mode=<mode> -
Set the EOL or PLP circuitry failure mode to [0-3] (0: default, 1: rom, 2: wtm or 3: normal). Only one mode can be used at a time. The default is rom.
-
-n, --no-uuid -
Do not try to automatically detect UUID index for this command (required for old OCP 1.0 support)
-
-s, --save -
Save the attribute so that it persists through all power states and resets.
-
-s <select>, --sel=<select> -
Select (SEL): This field specifies which value of the attributes to return in the provided data:
Select Name Description 0 current Current 1 default Default 2 saved Saved 3 supported Supported capabilities
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. Other versions are rejected.
-
--quiet -
Suppress informational messages. Errors are still reported, and --quiet cancels any --verbose for the library log level.
-
--set-options=<key=value>[,<key=value>...] -
Set libnvme library options for this invocation. Supported keys are force-4k, mi-probe-enabled, test-base-dir and test-sysfs-dir.
-
--timeout=<ms> -
Set the timeout for the command in milliseconds. infinite or -1 waits without a time limit (0xffffffff).
-
-v, --verbose -
Increase the level of detail in the output. May be specified multiple times to further increase verbosity.
These options can also be set as machine-wide defaults in nvme-cli.conf(5). A command-line flag always overrides the file.
Examples
• Has the program issue a eol-plp-failure-mode to retrieve the 0xC2 get features.
# nvme ocp eol-plp-failure-mode /dev/nvme0
