Checking the amount of remaining life in NVMe devices

Learn how to use operating system commands to find the amount of remaining life in an NVMe device.
Using the operating system commands
The AIX, IBM i, and Linux operating systems have commands that you can use to determine the amount of
life that is remaining in an NVMe device.
Running the AIX command to check the amount of remaining life in NVMe
devices
Find information about using the AIX operating system to find the amount of remaining life in an NVMe
device.
About this task
To find the amount of remaining life in an NVMe device by using the AIX operating system, complete the
steps in this procedure.
Procedure
1. If the system has logical partitions, complete this procedure from the logical partition that owns the
NVMe device.
2. To use the AIX operating system to find the remaining life on an NVMe device, complete the following
steps:
a) From the AIX command line, type diag and press Enter.
b) From the Function Selection menu, select Task Selection > NVMe general health information.
c) Select the NVMe device that you want to check remaining life for and press Enter.
d) View the Percentage of NVM subsystem life used field.
Is the value in the Percentage of NVM subsystem life used field 100%?
• Yes: Continue with the next step.
• No: Continue with step "4" on page 24.
3. The NVMe device is nearing its end of life and must be replaced. The NVMe device will soon reach
the limit for the number of write operations that are supported. Write operations to the NVMe device
become slower over time, and at some point the NVMe device becomes a read-only device. When
the operating system writes data to a read-only device, the write operations are rejected, and the
