NVME-EXCLUSION-CRE(1) NVMe Manual NVME-EXCLUSION-CRE(1)

NAME

nvme-exclusion-create - Create a new NVMe-oF exclusion list

SYNOPSIS

nvme [<global-options>] exclusion create [--name=<NAME> | -N <NAME>]

DESCRIPTION

Create a new, empty NVMe-oF exclusion list named <NAME>, stored as /etc/nvme/exclusions.conf.d/<NAME>.conf. The exclusion list names controllers that no orchestrator may auto-connect; see the exclusion list overview in the libnvme documentation (EXCLUSIONS.md) for the format, the field keys, and the match semantics.

This command requires root.

OPTIONS

-N <NAME>, --name=<NAME>

Name of the exclusion list to create. Omit to create the default list (/etc/nvme/exclusions.conf).

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

•Create a list for controllers under maintenance: 

# nvme exclusion create --name maintenance
