SYNOPSIS
nvme device-self-test <device> [--namespace-id=<NUM> | -n <NUM>]
                        [--self-test-code=<NUM> | -s <NUM>] [--wait | -w]
                        [--output-format=<fmt> | -o <fmt>] [--verbose | -v]
                        [--timeout=<timeout> | -t <timeout>]
DESCRIPTION
Initiates the required test based on the user input.
The <device> parameter is mandatory and may be either the NVMe character device (ex: /dev/nvme0), or a namespace block device (ex: /dev/nvme0n1).
On success, the corresponding test is initiated.
OPTIONS
- -n <NUM>
- --namespace-id=<NUM>
- 
Indicate the namespace in which the device self-test has to be carried out 
- -s <NUM>
- --self-test-code=<NUM>
- 
This field specifies the action taken by the device self-test command : 0h: Show current state of device self-test operation 1h: Start a short device self-test operation 2h: Start a extended device self-test operation eh: Start a vendor specific device self-test operation fh: Abort the device self-test operation Default is 0h. 
- -w
- --wait
- 
Wait for the device self test to complete before exiting The device self-test is aborted by SIGINT signal interrupt for the wait The option is ignored if the abort self-test code option specified. 
- -o <fmt>
- --output-format=<fmt>
- 
Set the reporting format to normal, json or binary. Only one output format can be used at a time. 
- -v
- --verbose
- 
Increase the information detail in the output. 
- -t <timeout>
- --timeout=<timeout>
- 
Override default timeout value. In milliseconds. 
EXAMPLES
- 
Start a short device self-test in the namespace-id 1: # nvme device-self-test /dev/nvme0 -n 1 -s 1
- 
Abort the device self-test operation in the namespace-id 1: # nvme device-self-test /dev/nvme0 -n 1 -s 0xf
