Hi,

Both NVMeOF host  and NVMeOF target server is configured with RHEL OS v7.3 and upstream kernel v4.10.4.
NIC card (both target and host) - Mellanox Technologies MT27710 Family [ConnectX-4    Lx], driver: mlx5_core, version: 3.0-1, firmware v14.14.1100.
1. Powered on the NVMeOF target server with single drive.
2. NVMe OF Target and Host  is configured and loaded with all nvme modules and mlx5 drivers.
3. Discovered the device with 'nvme discover -t rdma -a 1.1.1.1 -s 4440' in host.
4. Connected to the target with 'nvme connect -n subsystemName -t rdma -a 1.1.1.1 -s 4440' in host.
5.Verify drive discovery    <ls /dev/nvme*> in host.

The following nvme commands are giving error in host:
nvme format
nvme fw-download
nvme fw-activate 
nvme set-feature for temperature threshold.

Is there any support for these commands in NVMeOF host?
