NVMe Connect Command

The nvme connect command requires several parameters for the NVMe/TCP storage server to be discovered and connected to.

The simplified syntax of this command is:

These are only a small sample of the possible parameters. See the NVMe documentation for a complete list and usage of the nvme connect command. We have chosen these parameters as an example of the minimum required to connect to and use an NVMe/TCP volume.

NVMe Connect Parameter Overview

After the application client connects to the Lightbits storage cluster, the volumes that this application client can access appear as local block devices. The following example shows how to use the Linux lsblkcommand to list all block devices after the connectcommand finishes.

Sample Command

Sample Output

In this example, the Lightbits storage server serves four volumes via NVMe/TCP. These volumes are mapped to the /dev Linux file system path. The NVMe/TCP block device names are listed in the Name column.
