NVME-MICRON-INTERN(1)

okay bestie, welcome to NVME-MICRON-INTERN(1) from the NVMe Manual 🦋✨ this page is about a Micron-specific log-collecting moment, and yes, we're keeping all the deets.

💖 NAME 💖

nvme-micron-internal-log — retrieve a Micron device's internal logs and save them to the given zip file. that's the whole vibe. 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

nvme [<global-options>] micron vs-internal-log <device>
                        [--package=<FILE>, -p <FILE>]

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so for the given NVMe device, this sends the Micron vendor specific device commands to retrieve various logs in binary format, compresses them, and saves them into the specified zip file. these vendor unique logs can be analyzed with Micron Technical support team for any device specific issues. 💾

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 Micron devices of model numbers 9200 and 54XX. support for new devices may be added subsequently. results for any other device are undefined — like, no cap, don't test fate on this one. 💀

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• -l <FILE>, --package=<FILE> — name of the file (with .zip extension) to save the device logs. 🗂️

🌈 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. peek-only energy. 👀
• --no-ioctl-probing — disable probing for 64-bit IOCTL support. 🛑
• --no-retries — disable retry logic on transient errors. one shot, no reruns. 💅
• -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 🦋

• gets the logs from the device and saves to micron_logs.zip file:

# nvme micron vs-internal-log /dev/nvme0 --package=micron_logs.zip
