NVME-WDC-DRIVE-LO(1)              NVMe Manual             NVME-WDC-DRIVE-LO(1)

NAME
       nvme-wdc-drive-log - Retrieve WDC device's drive log and save to file.

SYNOPSIS
       nvme wdc drive-log <device> [--output-file=<FILE>, -o <FILE>]

DESCRIPTION
       For the NVMe device given, sends the wdc vendor unique drive log
       request and saves the result to a file.

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

       This will only work on WDC devices supporting this feature. Results for
       any other device are undefined.

OPTIONS
       -o <FILE>, --output-file=<FILE>
           Output file; defaults to device serial number followed by
           "drive_log" suffix

EXAMPLES
       o   Gets the drive log from the device and saves to default file in
           current directory (e.g. STM00019F3F9drive_log.bin):

               # nvme wdc drive-log /dev/nvme0

       o   Gets the drive log from the device and saves to defined file in
           current directory (e.g. testSTM00019F3F9drive_log.bin):

               # nvme wdc drive-log /dev/nvme0 -o test

       o   Gets the drive log from the device and saves to defined file with
           pathname (e.g. /tmp/testSTM00019F3F9drive_log.bin):

               # nvme wdc drive-log /dev/nvme0 -o /tmp/test
