SYNOPSIS

nvme lnvm-create [--device-name=<DEVICE> | -d <DEVICE>]
                        [--target-name=<TARGET> | -n <TARGET>]
                        [--target-type=<TARGETTYPE> | -t <TARGETTYPE>]
                        [--lun-begin <NUM> | -b <NUM>]
                        [--lun-end <NUM> | -e <NUM>]

DESCRIPTION

Instantiate a target on top of a LightNVM enabled device. This exposes the physical for the user to use.

The target name is the name of which the media is exposed as in /dev/<targetname>

The target type is the target to be instantiated. Typically pblk or rrpc.

LUN begin and end defines the range of LUNs to use for a target instantiation.

OPTIONS

--device-name=<DEVICE>
-d <DEVICE>

Device name to initialize.

--target-name=<TARGET>
-n <TARGET>

Target name of the device to initialize. For example: target0.

--target-type=<TARGETTYPE>
-t <TARGETTYPE>

Target type of the device to use. For example: pblk

--lun-begin <NUM>
-b <NUM>

Begin LUN id offset to use for target

--lun-end <NUM>
-e <NUM>

End LUN id offset to use for target

EXAMPLES

  • Initialize nvme0n1 with pblk target with 64 LUNs. 

# nvme lnvm-create -d nvme0n1 -t pblk -n target0 -b 0 -e 63
