NAME

6       nvme-lnvm-create - Instantiate a target on top of a LightNVM enabled
7       device

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

17       Instantiate a target on top of a LightNVM enabled device. This exposes
18       the physical for the user to use.
19
20       The target name is the name of which the media is exposed as in
21       /dev/<targetname>
22
23       The target type is the target to be instantiated. Typically pblk or
24       rrpc.
25
26       LUN begin and end defines the range of LUNs to use for a target
27       instantiation.
28

OPTIONS

30       --device-name=<DEVICE>, -d <DEVICE>
31           Device name to initialize.
32
33       --target-name=<TARGET>, -n <TARGET>
34           Target name of the device to initialize. For example: target0.
35
36       --target-type=<TARGETTYPE>, -t <TARGETTYPE>
37           Target type of the device to use. For example: pblk
38
39       --lun-begin <NUM>, -b <NUM>
40           Begin LUN id offset to use for target
41
42       --lun-end <NUM>, -e <NUM>
43           End LUN id offset to use for target
44

EXAMPLES

46       ยท   Initialize nvme0n1 with pblk target with 64 LUNs.
47
48           # nvme lnvm-create -d nvme0n1 -t pblk -n target0 -b 0 -e 63
