SYNOPSIS

10                                 [--feature-id=<fid> | -f <fid>] [--value=<value> | -v <value>]
11                                 [--uuid-index=<uuid-index> | -U <uuid_index>]
12                                 [--data-len=<data-len> | -l <data-len>]
13                                 [--data=<data-file> | -d <data-file>]

DESCRIPTION

17       Submits an NVMe Set Feature admin command and returns the applicable
18       results. This may be the feature’s value, or may also include a feature
19       structure if the feature requires it (ex: LBA Range Type).
20
21       The <device> parameter is mandatory and may be either the NVMe
22       character device (ex: /dev/nvme0), or a namespace block device (ex:
23       /dev/nvme0n1).
24
25       On success, the value sent to the device is displayed
26

OPTIONS

28       -n <nsid>, --namespace-id=<nsid>
29           Sets the feature for the given nsid. This is optional and most
30           features do not use this value.
31
32       -f <fid>, --feature-id=<fid>
33           The feature id to send with the command. Value provided should be
34           in hex.
35
36       -l <data-len>, --data-len=<data-len>
37           The data length for the buffer submitted for this feature. Most
38           known features do not use this value. The exceptions are LBA Range
39           Type and host identifier.
40
41       -d <data-file>, --data=<data-file>
42           The data file for the buffer submitted for this feature. Most known
43           features do not use this value. The exceptions is LBA Range Type
44           and host identifier. This defaults to STDIN so files and echo can
45           be piped.
46
47       -v <value>, --value=<value>
48           The value for command dword 11, the value you want to set the
49           feature to.
50
51       -s, --save
52           Save the attribute so that it persists through all power states and
53           resets.
54
55       -U <uuid-index>, --uuid-index=<uuid-index>
56           UUID Index of the feature
57

EXAMPLES

59       •   Sets the Power State (PS) to 1 in feature id 2:
60
61               # nvme set-feature /dev/nvme0 -f 2 /dev/nvme0n1 -v 0x1
62
63       •   Sets the host id to the ascii string.
64
65               # echo "abcdefgh" | nvme set-feature /dev/nvme0 -f 0x81 -l 8
66
67           nvme set-feature /dev/nvme0 -f 0x81 -l 8 -U 0x1
