"Failed to init mgmt, 0x13." error appears in syslog

Products

• VMware vSphere ESXi

Issue/Introduction

• The following log entry is observed in syslog.log:

Er(11) esxcli-nvme-plugin[2665582]: Nvme_GetAdapterList:188: Failed to init mgmt, 0x13.

• "esxcli nvme device list" command was executed at the time the log was generated.
• The target environment does not have any NVMe devices installed.

Environment

ESXi 8.0

Cause

When no NVMe devices are present in the system, it is expected behavior for the command to return a 0x13 (No such device) error upon execution.

Resolution

This is expected behavior in environments where NVMe devices are not installed. The output of this error is benign and has no impact on the system. It can be safely ignored.
