SYNOPSIS

nvme [<global-options>] feat host-behavior-support <device>
                        [--acre=<acre> | -a <acre>]
                        [--etdas=<etdas> | -e <etdas>]
                        [--lbafee=<lbafee> | -l <lbafee>]
                        [--hdisns=<hdisns> | -H <hdisns>]
                        [--cdfe=<cdfe> | -c <cdfe>]
                        [--sel=<select> | -S <select>] [--save | -s]

DESCRIPTION

Get and set host behavior support feature.

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

If any of the setting options (--acre, --etdas, --lbafee, --hdisns, or --cdfe) are specified, the command will update the host behavior support feature fields accordingly. If none of these options are specified, it will retrieve and display the current configuration.

On success it returns 0, error code otherwise.

OPTIONS

-a <acre>
--acre=<acre>

Advanced Command Retry Enable (0 or 1).

-e <etdas>
--etdas=<etdas>

Extended Telemetry Data Area 4 Supported (0 or 1).

-l <lbafee>
--lbafee=<lbafee>

LBA Format Extension Enable (0 or 1).

-H <hdisns>
--hdisns=<hdisns>

Host Dispersed Namespace Support (0 or 1).

-c <cdfe>
--cdfe=<cdfe>

Copy Descriptor Formats Enable bitmask.

-S <select>
--sel=<select>

Select (SEL): This field specifies which value of the attributes to return in the provided data:

-s
--save

Save the attribute so that it persists through all power states and resets.

GLOBAL OPTIONS

The following options are defined at the top-level nvme command and are available to this subcommand:

--dry-run

Print the command that would be executed, but do not actually execute it.

--no-ioctl-probing

Disable probing for 64-bit IOCTL support.

--no-retries

Disable retry logic on transient errors.

-o <fmt>
--output-format=<fmt>

Set the reporting format to normal, tabular, 'json, or binary. Only one output format may be used at a time.

--output-format-version=<version>

Select the output format version. Version 1 uses the original field naming, while version 2 (default) provides more consistent and script-friendly field names.

--timeout=<ms>

Set the timeout for the command in milliseconds.

-v
--verbose

Increase the level of detail in the output. May be specified multiple times to further increase verbosity.

These options can also be set as machine-wide defaults in nvme-cli.conf(5). A command-line flag always overrides the file.

EXAMPLES

  • Has the program issue a feat host-behavior-support to get the current configuration: 

    # nvme feat host-behavior-support /dev/nvme0

  • Has the program issue a feat host-behavior-support to set fields with saving enabled: 

    # nvme feat host-behavior-support /dev/nvme0 --acre=1 --lbafee=1 --save
