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

EXAMPLES

       •   Initialize nvme0n1 with pblk target with 64 LUNs.

           # nvme lnvm-create -d nvme0n1 -t pblk -n target0 -b 0 -e 63
