NAME

       nvme-device-self-test - Perform the necessary tests to observe the performance and the
       parameters

SYNOPSIS

       nvme device-self-test <device> [--namespace-id=<NUM> | -n <NUM>]
                               [--self-test-code=<NUM> | -s <NUM>] [--wait | -w]
                               [--output-format=<fmt> | -o <fmt>] [--verbose | -v]
                               [--timeout=<timeout> | -t <timeout>]

DESCRIPTION

       Initiates the required test based on the user input.

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

       On success, the corresponding test is initiated.

       The results of this test can be queried via nvme self-test-log <device>.

OPTIONS

       -n <NUM>, --namespace-id=<NUM>
           Indicate the namespace in which the device self-test has to be carried out

       -s <NUM>, --self-test-code=<NUM>
           This field specifies the action taken by the device self-test command : 0h: Show
           current state of device self-test operation 1h: Start a short device self-test
           operation 2h: Start a extended device self-test operation eh: Start a vendor specific
           device self-test operation fh: Abort the device self-test operation Default is 0h.

       -w, --wait
           Wait for the device self test to complete before exiting The device self-test is
           aborted by SIGINT signal interrupt for the wait The option is ignored if the abort
           self-test code option specified.

       -o <fmt>, --output-format=<fmt>
           Set the reporting format to normal, json or binary. Only one output format can be used
           at a time.

       -v, --verbose
           Increase the information detail in the output.

       -t <timeout>, --timeout=<timeout>
           Override default timeout value. In milliseconds.

EXAMPLES

       •   Start a short device self-test in the namespace-id 1:

               # nvme device-self-test /dev/nvme0 -n 1 -s 1

       •   Abort the device self-test operation in the namespace-id 1:

               # nvme device-self-test /dev/nvme0 -n 1 -s 0xf
