A method of orchestrating the execution of commands in a non-volatile memory express (NVMe) device includes receiving one or more commands, to be executed, from one or more host devices in one or more submission queues. One or more configuration commands are identified, from the one or more received commands, that will alter the attributes/characteristics of the NVMe device. One or more commands operating with the same attributes as the identified one or more configuration commands are also identified. And selective fencing of the identified one or more commands is initiated to orchestrate execution of commands in the NVMe device.
