NVME-LOG-ANA(1)

💅 NAME

okay bestie, welcome to nvme-log-ana from the NVME-LOG-ANA(1) manual ✨ — it sends an NVMe ANA log page request, returns the result, and gives you the log. lowkey iconic.

🌸 SYNOPSIS

nvme [<global-options>] log ana <device> [--groups | -g]

🦋 DESCRIPTION

This command retrieves the NVMe Asymmetric Namespace Access log page from an NVMe device and hands you back the returned structure. slay.

The <device> parameter is mandatory and it's an NVMe character device, like /dev/nvme0 — don't forget it, bestie 💖.

On success, the returned ANA log structure may come back in one of several ways depending on the option flags: the structure may be parsed by the program and printed in a readable format, or the raw buffer may be printed to stdout so another program can parse it. no cap.

✨ OPTIONS ✨

• -g, --groups — Return the list of ANA groups without the namespace listing.

👑 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. Other versions are rejected.
• --quiet — Suppress informational messages. Errors are still reported, and --quiet cancels any --verbose for the library log level.
• --set-options=<key=value>[,<key=value>...] — Set libnvme library options for this invocation. Supported keys are force-4k, mi-probe-enabled, test-base-dir and test-sysfs-dir.
• --timeout=<ms> — Set the timeout for the command in milliseconds. infinite or -1 waits without a time limit (0xffffffff).
• -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. periodt.

🌈 EXAMPLES

• Print the ANA log page in a human readable format:

# nvme log ana /dev/nvme0
