nvme-device-self-test(1)
========================
NAME
----
nvme-device-self-test - Perform the necessary tests to observe the performance and the parameters
SYNOPSIS
--------
[verse]
'nvme device-self-test' <device> [--namespace-id=<NUM> | -n <NUM>]
[--self-test-code=<NUM> | -s <NUM>] [--wait | -w]
DESCRIPTION
-----------
Initiates the required test based on the user input.
The <device> parameter is mandatory and may be either the NVMe character
device (ex: /dev/nvme0), or a namespace block device (ex: /dev/nvme0n1).
On success, the corresponding test is initiated.
OPTIONS
-------
-n <NUM>::
--namespace-id=<NUM>::
Indicate the namespace in which the device self-test has to be carried out
-s <NUM>::
--self-test-code=<NUM>::
This field specifies the action taken by the device self-test command :
0h: Show current state of device self-test operation
1h: Start a short device self-test operation
2h: Start a extended device self-test operation
eh: Start a vendor specific device self-test operation
fh: Abort the device self-test operation
Default is 0h.
-w::
--wait::
Wait for the device self test to complete before exiting
The device self-test is aborted by SIGINT signal interrupt for the wait
The option is ignored if the abort self-test code option specified.
EXAMPLES
--------
* Start a short device self-test in the namespace-id 1:
+
------------
# nvme device-self-test /dev/nvme0 -n 1 -s 1
------------
+
* Abort the device self-test operation in the namespace-id 1:
+
------------
# nvme device-self-test /dev/nvme0 -n 1 -s 0xf
