name

string

The name of the SVM.

uuid

string

The unique identifier of the SVM.

nvme_service

A Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe) service defines the properties of the NVMe controller target for an SVM. There can be at most one NVMe service for an SVM. An SVM's NVMe service must be created before NVMe host initiators can connect to the SVM.

An NVMe service is identified by the UUID of its SVM.
