Members
structure_id
Structure ID: This field shall be set to 4h (i.e., SSNS; #NBFT_DESC_SSNS).
index SSNS Descriptor Index: This field indicates the number of this Subsystem Namespace Descriptor
in the Subsystem Namespace Descriptor List.
flags SSNS Flags, see enum nbft_ssns_flags.
trtype Transport Type, see enum nbft_trtype.
trflags Transport Specific Flags, see enum nbft_ssns_trflags.
primary_discovery_ctrl_index
Primary Discovery Controller Index: The Discovery Descriptor Index field of the Discovery
Descriptor (see struct nbft_discovery) that is associated with this SSNS Descriptor. If a
Discovery controller was used to establish this record this value shall be set to a non-zero
value. If this namespace was associated with multiple Discovery controllers, those Discovery
controllers shall have records in the Discovery Descriptor to facilitate multi-path
rediscovery as required. If no Discovery controller was utilized to inform this namespace
record, this field shall be cleared to 0h.
reserved1 Reserved.
subsys_traddr_obj
Subsystem Transport Address Heap Object Reference: This field indicates the location and size
of a heap object containing the Subsystem Transport Address. For IP based transports types,
shall be an IP Address.
subsys_trsvcid_obj
Subsystem Transport Service Identifier Heap Object Reference: This field indicates the
location and size of a heap object containing an array of bytes indicating the Subsystem
Transport Service Identifier. See enum nbft_trtype.
subsys_port_id
Subsystem Port ID: Port in the NVM subsystem associated with this transport address used by
the pre-OS driver.
nsid Namespace ID: This field indicates the namespace identifier (NSID) of the namespace indicated
by this descriptor. This field shall be cleared to 0h if not specified by the user. If this
value is cleared to 0h, then consumers of the NBFT shall rely on the NID.
nidt Namespace Identifier Type (NIDT): This field contains the value of the Namespace Identifier
Type (NIDT) field in the Namespace Identification Descriptor for the namespace indicated by
this descriptor. If a namespace supports multiple NIDT entries for uniqueness, the order of
preference is NIDT field value of 3h (i.e., UUID) before 2h (i.e., NSGUID), and 2h before 1h
(i.e., EUI-64).
nid Namespace Identifier (NID): This field contains the value of the Namespace Identifier (NID)
field in the Namespace Identification Descriptor for the namespace indicated by this
descriptor.
security_desc_index
Security Profile Descriptor Index: If the Use Security Flag bit in the SSNS Flags field is
set to 1h, then this field indicates the value of the Security Profile Descriptor Index field
of the Security Profile Descriptor (see struct nbft_security) associated with this namespace.
If the Use Security Flag bit is cleared to 0h, then no Security Profile Descriptor is
associated with this namespace and this field is reserved.
primary_hfi_desc_index
Primary HFI Descriptor Index: This field indicates the value of the HFI Descriptor Index
field of the HFI Descriptor (see struct nbft_hfi) for the interface associated with this
namespace. If multiple HFIs are associated with this record, subsequent interfaces should be
populated in the Secondary HFI Associations field.
reserved2 Reserved.
secondary_hfi_assoc_obj
Secondary HFI Associations Heap Object Reference: If this field is set to a non-zero value,
then this field indicates an array of bytes, in which each byte contains the value of the HFI
Descriptor Index field of an HFI Descriptor in the HFI Descriptor List. If this field is
cleared to 0h, then no secondary HFI associations are specified.
subsys_ns_nqn_obj
Subsystem and Namespace NQN Heap Object Reference: This field indicates the location and size
of a heap object containing the Subsystem and Namespace NQN.
ssns_extended_info_desc_obj
SSNS Extended Information Descriptor Heap Object Reference: If the SSNS Extended Info In-use
Flag bit is set to 1h, then this field indicates the offset in bytes of a heap object
containing an SSNS Extended Information Descriptor (see struct nbft_ssns_ext_info) heap
object from byte offset 0h of the NBFT Table Header. If the SSNS Extended Info In-use Flag
bit is cleared to 0h, then this field is reserved.
reserved3 Reserved.
