NAME

       nvme-wdc-drive-log - Retrieve WDC device's drive log and save to file.

SYNOPSIS

       nvme wdc drive-log <device> [--output-file=<FILE>, -o <FILE>]

DESCRIPTION

       For the NVMe device given, sends the wdc vendor unique drive log request and saves the
       result to a file.

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

       This will only work on WDC devices supporting this feature. Results for any other device
       are undefined.

OPTIONS

       -o <FILE>, --output-file=<FILE>
           Output file; defaults to device serial number followed by "drive_log" suffix

EXAMPLES

       •   Gets the drive log from the device and saves to default file in current directory
           (e.g. STM00019F3F9drive_log.bin):

               # nvme wdc drive-log /dev/nvme0

       •   Gets the drive log from the device and saves to defined file in current directory
           (e.g. testSTM00019F3F9drive_log.bin):

               # nvme wdc drive-log /dev/nvme0 -o test

       •   Gets the drive log from the device and saves to defined file with pathname (e.g.
           /tmp/testSTM00019F3F9drive_log.bin):

               # nvme wdc drive-log /dev/nvme0 -o /tmp/test
