NAME¶
nvme-device-self-test - Perform the necessary tests to observe the performance and the parameters
SYNOPSIS¶
nvme device-self-test <device> [--namespace-id=<NUM> | -n <NUM>]
[--self-test-code=<NUM> | -s <NUM>]
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 becarried out

extended device self-test operation eh: Start a vendor specific device
self-test operation fh: abort the device self-test operation
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
