NAME

nvme-seagate-vs-fw-activate-history - Retrieve Seagate vendor specific Controller-Initiated Telemetry in binary

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

This command will only work on Seagate devices supporting this feature. Not all commands work across all product families.

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

OPTIONS

-n <NUM>, --namespace-id=<NUM>

Desired namespace

-f <FILE>, --dump-file=<FILE>

Dump file

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

Get the Seagate vendor specific Controller-Initiated telemetry log for the specified device.
