Display the volumes visible to the host

Contributors NetAppZacharyWambold netapp-jolieg

You can use the SMdevices tool to view volumes currently visible on the host. This tool is part of the nvme-cli package, and can be used as an alternative to the nvme list command.

To view information about each NVMe path to an E-Series volume, use the nvme netapp smdevices [-o <format>] command. The output <format> can be normal (the default if -o is not used), column, or json.
