NAME¶
nvme-lnvm-create - Instantiate a target on top of a LightNVM enabled device
SYNOPSIS¶
nvme lnvm-create [--device-name=<DEVICE> | -d <DEVICE>]
[--target-name=<TARGET> | -n <TARGET>]
[--target-type=<TARGETTYPE> | -t <TARGETTYPE>]
[--lun-begin <NUM> | -b <NUM>]
[--lun-end <NUM> | -e <NUM>]
DESCRIPTION¶
Instantiate a target on top of a LightNVM enabled device. This exposes the physical for the user to use.
The target name is the name of which the media is exposed as in /dev/<targetname>
The target type is the target to be instantiated. Typically pblk or rrpc.
LUN begin and end defines the range of LUNs to use for a target instantiation.
OPTIONS¶
--device-name=<DEVICE>, -d <DEVICE>
Device name to initialize.
--target-name=<TARGET>, -n <TARGET>
Target name of the device to initialize. For example:
target0.
--target-type=<TARGETTYPE>, -t <TARGETTYPE>
Target type of the device to use. For example: pblk
--lun-begin <NUM>, -b <NUM>
Begin LUN id offset to use for target
--lun-end <NUM>, -e <NUM>
End LUN id offset to use for target
