typing the following command:

lsblk

Information similar to the following is displayed:

Note that the /dev/sde and /dev/sdf block devices, which were previously referred to on the NVMe target system,

are now discovered by the NVMe initiator system, and they appear as the NVMe block devices /dev/nvme0n1 and

/dev/nvme0n2.

3.2 Emulex Support for NVMe CLI Commands

The SLES 12 SP3 and SLES 15 operating systems include many native NVMe CLI commands for initiators. Of these,

Emulex has tested, and thus supports, only the following commands at this time:

 list

 connect-all

 connect

 gen-hostnqn

 list-subsystem (SLES 15 only)

Documentation for these commands is available with the operating system.
