==============================
NVMe/TCP Initiator for Linux
==============================
Prerequisites
=============
- Kernel 5.0 or later
- RHEL 9.2 or later
- Ubuntu 24.04 or later
- SLES 15 SP3 or later
Installation
============
1. Install the nvme-cli:
.. prompt:: bash #
yum install nvme-cli
2. Load the NVMe-oF module:
.. prompt:: bash #
modprobe nvme-fabrics
3. Verify the NVMe/TCP target is reachable:
.. prompt:: bash #
nvme discover -t tcp -a GATEWAY_IP -s 4420
4. Connect to the NVMe/TCP target:
.. prompt:: bash #
nvme connect -t tcp -a GATEWAY_IP -n SUBSYSTEM_NQN
Next steps
==========
Verify that the initiator is set up correctly:
1. List the NVMe block devices:
.. prompt:: bash #
nvme list
2. Create a filesystem on the desired device:
.. prompt:: bash #
mkfs.ext4 NVME_NODE_PATH
3. Mount the filesystem:
.. prompt:: bash #
mkdir /mnt/nvmeof
.. prompt:: bash #
mount NVME_NODE_PATH /mnt/nvmeof
4. List the NVME-oF files:
.. prompt:: bash #
ls /mnt/nvmeof
5. Create a text file in the ``/mnt/nvmeof`` directory:
.. prompt:: bash #
echo "Hello NVME-oF" > /mnt/nvmeof/hello.text
6. Verify that the file can be accessed:
.. prompt:: bash #
cat /mnt/nvmeof/hello.text
