NVME-SEAGATE-VS-F(1)

💖 NAME 💖

Okay bestie, this is the NVME-SEAGATE-VS-F(1) page for nvme-seagate-vs-fw-activate-history — it retrieves Seagate vendor specific Controller-Initiated Telemetry in binary. That's the whole assignment. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

nvme [<global-options>] seagate vs-fw-activate-history <device> [OPTIONS]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Real talk: this command will only work on Seagate devices that support this feature. Not all commands work across all product families — that's just how it is, bestie.

The <device> may be either an NVMe character device (ex: /dev/nvme0) or an nvme block device (ex: /dev/nvme0n1). Slay.

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• -n <NUM>, --namespace-id=<NUM> — desired namespace. Yep, that's the one.
• -f <FILE>, --dump-file=<FILE> — dump file. Put the dump file here.

👑 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. No cap.

🌸 EXAMPLES 🌸
