NVME-WDC-CLOUD-BO(1)

🎀 NAME 🎀

okay bestie, welcome to the NVME-WDC-CLOUD-BO(1) page in the NVMe manual — it’s giving very niche-but-iconic WDC plugin energy. The command is nvme-wdc-cloud-boot-SSD-version, and it displays the WDC plugin Cloud Boot SSD Version. slay. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

nvme [<global-options>] wdc cloud-boot-SSD-version <device>

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so for the NVMe device you hand it, this command displays the current Cloud Hyperscale Boot Version — but only if the device supports it, no cap.

<device> is a mandatory NVMe character device (ex: /dev/nvme0). Like, you cannot skip it; it’s the main character of this call. 🫶

On success it returns 0; otherwise it returns an error code. periodt.

💅 OPTIONS 💅

🌍 GLOBAL OPTIONS 🌍

These are the options defined at the top-level nvme command, and they’re all available to this subcommand:

• --dry-run — prints the command that would be executed, but does not actually execute it. Preview mode, basically. 👀
• --no-ioctl-probing — disables probing for 64-bit IOCTL support.
• --no-retries — disables retry logic on transient errors.
• -o <fmt>, --output-format=<fmt> — sets the reporting format to normal, tabular, 'json, or binary. Only one output format may be used at a time, bestie.
• --output-format-version=<version> — selects the output format version. Version 1 uses the original field naming, while version 2 (the default) provides more consistent and script-friendly field names. Other versions are rejected. 🚫
• --quiet — suppresses informational messages. Errors are still reported, and --quiet cancels any --verbose for the library log level.
• --set-options=<key=value>[,<key=value>...] — sets libnvme library options for this invocation. Supported keys are force-4k, mi-probe-enabled, test-base-dir and test-sysfs-dir.
• --timeout=<ms> — sets the timeout for the command in milliseconds. infinite or -1 waits without a time limit (0xffffffff).
• -v, --verbose — increases 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 — every time. 💯

🌸 EXAMPLES 🌸

• Displays the cloud boot ssd version for the device:

# nvme wdc cloud-boot-SSD-version /dev/nvme0
