NVME-ZNS-OPEN-ZON(1)

NAME
nvme-zns-open-zone - Opens one or all zones

SYNOPSIS

nvme [<global-options>] zns open-zone <device>
                        [--namespace-id=<NUM> | -n <NUM>]
                        [--start-lba=<LBA> | -s <LBA>]
                        [--zrwaa | -r]
                        [--select-all | -a]

DESCRIPTION

For the NVMe device given, issues the Zone Management Send command with the "Open Zone" action. This will transition the zone to the opened state.

The <device> parameter is mandatory and may be either the NVMe character device (ex: /dev/nvme0), or a namespace block device (ex: /dev/nvme0n1).

OPTIONS

-n <NUM>, --namespace-id=<NUM>
    Use the provided namespace id for the command. If not provided, the namespace id of the block device will be used. If the command is issued to a non-block device, the parameter is required.

-s <lba>, --start-lba=<lba>
    The starting LBA of the zone to open.

-r, --zrwaa
    Allocate Zone Random Write Area to zone

-a, --select-all
    Select all zones for this action

GLOBAL OPTIONS

The following options are defined at the top-level nvme command and are available to this subcommand:

--dry-run
    Print the command that would be executed, but do not actually execute it.

--no-ioctl-probing
    Disable probing for 64-bit IOCTL support.

--no-retries
    Disable retry logic on transient errors.

-o <fmt>, --output-format=<fmt>
    Set the reporting format to normal, tabular, 'json, or binary. Only one output format may be used at a time.

--output-format-version=<version>
    Select the output format version. Version 1 uses the original field naming, while version 2 (default) provides more consistent and script-friendly field names.

--timeout=<ms>
    Set the timeout for the command in milliseconds.

-v, --verbose
    Increase the level of detail in the output. May be specified multiple times to further increase verbosity.

These options can also be set as machine-wide defaults in nvme-cli.conf(5). A command-line flag always overrides the file.

EXAMPLES

    • Open the first zone on namespace 1:

        # nvme zns open-zone /dev/nvme0 -n 1 -s 0
