10
12 stafctl is a tool that can be used to communicate with the stafd(8)
13 daemon to retrieve operational data.
14
16 The following commands are understood:
17
18 tron
19 Trace ON. Enable code tracing, which is to say that lots of debug
20 information will be printed to the syslog (e.g. systemd-journal).
21
22 troff
23 Trace OFF. Disable code tracing.
24
25 status
26 Show runtime status information.
27
28 ls
29 Show the list of discovery controllers. This will list all the
30 controllers configured in stafd.conf(5) as well as those discovered
31 with mDNS service discovery.
32
33 dlp
34 Show discovery log pages.
35
36 adlp
37 Show all discovery log pages.
38
40 The following options are understood:
41
42 -h, --help
43 Print the help text and exit.
44
45 --version
46 Print the version string and exit.
47
48 -d, --detailed
49 Print additional details.
50
51 -tTRTYPE, --transport=TRTYPE
52 NVMe-over-Fabrics fabric type (default: "tcp").
53
54 -aTRADDR, --traddr=TRADDR
55 Discovery controller's network address.
56
57 -sTRSVCID, --trsvcid=TRSVCID
58 Transport service id (for IP addressing, e.g. tcp, rdma, this field
59 is the port number).
60
61 -wTRADDR, --host-traddr=TRADDR
62 Network source address used on the host to connect to the
63 controller.
64
65 -fIFACE, --host-iface=IFACE
66 This field specifies the network interface used on the host to
67 connect to the controller.
68
69 -nNQN, --nqn=NQN
70 This field specifies the Controller's NVMe Qualified Name.
71
72 This field is mandatory for I/O Controllers, but is optional for
73 Discovery Controllers (DC). For the latter, the NQN will default to
74 the well-known DC NQN: nqn.2014-08.org.nvmexpress.discovery if left
75 undefined.
76
78 TRTYPE
79 rdma, fc, tcp, loop.
80
81 TRADDR
82 IP or Fibre Channel address. E.g. 10.10.0.100.
83
84 TRSVCID
85 E.g., 8009.
86
87 IFACE
88 Network interface name. E.g., eth1, enp0s8, wlp0s20f3.
89
90 NQN
91 NVMe Qualified Name.
92
94 On success, 0 is returned; otherwise, a non-zero failure code is
95 returned.
96
98 Example 1. List all the discovery controllers
99
100 $ stafctl ls
101 [{'device': 'nvme0',
102 'host-iface': '',
103 'host-traddr': '',
104 'subsysnqn': 'nqn.2014-08.org.nvmexpress.discovery',
105 'traddr': '::1',
106 'transport': 'tcp',
107 'trsvcid': '8009'}]
108
109 Example 2. Enable tracing
110
111 $ stafctl tron
112
113 Example 3. Show discovery log pages from a specific discovery
114 controller
115
116 $ stafctl dlp --transport tcp --traddr ::1 --trsvcid 8009
