10.3. Configuring an NVMe/RDMA host


You can configure a Non-volatile Memory Express™ (NVMe™) over RDMA (NVMe™/RDMA) host by using the NVMe management command-line interface (nvme-cli) tool. For more information, see the nvme(1) man page on your system.

Procedure

  1. Install the nvme-cli tool:

    # dnf install nvme-cli
  2. Load the nvme-rdma module if it is not loaded:

    # modprobe nvme-rdma
  3. Discover available subsystems on the NVMe controller:

    # nvme discover -t rdma -a 172.31.0.202 -s 4420
    
    Discovery Log Number of Records 2, Generation counter 2
    =====Discovery Log Entry 0======
    trtype: rdma
    adrfam: ipv4

    trtype: rdma

    rdma_cms: rdma-cm
    rdma_pkey: 0000
  4. Connect to the discovered subsystems:

    # nvme connect -t rdma -a 172.31.0.202 -s 4420 -n testnqn
    connecting to device: nvme0
    
    # lsblk
    NAME                         MAJ:MIN RM   SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
    sda                            8:0    0 465.8G  0 disk
    ├─sda1                         8:1    0     1G  0 part /boot
    └─sda2                         8:2    0 464.8G  0 part
      ├─rhel_rdma--virt--03-root 253:0    0    50G  0 lvm  /
      ├─rhel_rdma--virt--03-swap 253:1    0     4G  0 lvm  [SWAP]
      └─rhel_rdma--virt--03-home 253:2    0 410.8G  0 lvm  /home
    nvme0n1
    
    # cat /sys/class/nvme/nvme0/transport
    rdma

    Replace testnqn with the NVMe subsystem name.

    Replace 172.31.0.202 with the controller IP address.

    Replace 4420 with the port number.

Verification

  • List the NVMe devices that are currently connected:

    # nvme list
  • Optional: Disconnect from the controller:

    # nvme disconnect -n testnqn
    NQN:testnqn disconnected 1 controller(s)
    
    # lsblk
