NAME

       nvme-nvme-mi-send - Send a NVMe-MI Send command to the specified device

SYNOPSIS

       nvme nvme-mi-send <device> [--opcode=<opcode> | -o <opcode>]
                                    [--namespace-id=<nsid>]
                                    [--data-len=<data-len> | -l <data-len>]
                                    [--nmimt=<nmimt> | -m <nmimt>]
                                    [--nmd0=<nmd0> | -0 <nmd0>]
                                    [--nmd1=<nmd1> | -1 <nmd1>]
                                    [--input-file=<file> | -i <file>]

DESCRIPTION

       Send a NVMe-MI Send command to the specified device, return results.

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

       On success it returns 0, error code otherwise.

OPTIONS

       -o <opcode>, --opcode=<opcode>
           The NVMe-MI opcode to send to the device in the command

       -n <nsid>, --namespace-id=<nsid>
           The value for the ns-id in the command.

       -l <data-len>, --data-len=<data-len>
           The data length for the buffer used for this command.

       -m <nmimt>, --nmimt=<nmimt>
           The value for the NVMe-MI message type in the command.

       -0 <nmd0>, --nmd0=<nmd0>
           The value for the NVMe management request dword 0 in the command.

       -1 <nmd1>, --nmd1=<nmd1>
           The value for the NVMe management request dword 1 in the command.

       -i <file>, --input-file=<file>
           If the command is a data-out (write) command, use this file to fill the buffer sent to
           the device. If no file is given, assumed to use STDIN.

EXAMPLES

       •   Has the program issue a nvme-mi-send to execute the VPD write.

               # nvme nvme-mi-send /dev/nvme0n1 -o 6 -m 1 -0 0 -1 0x100 -l 256 -i vpd.bin
