Description: tools to assist in using ATA over Ethernet
|
|
|
- The aoetools are programs that assist in using ATA over Ethernet. These
|
|
|
- tools are designed to work with the "aoe" driver for Linux 2.6+ kernels;
|
|
|
- in fact, this version recommends kernel 2.6.14 or later, as both support
|
|
|
- up to 16 slots per shelf address.
|
|
|
- .
|
|
|
- Systems running Linux 2.4 kernels do not need and should not install
|
|
|
- the aoetools. The aoe driver for 2.4 kernels is self-sufficient.
|
|
|
- .
|
|
|
- There are several tools included in this package:
|
|
|
- * aoecfg - manipulate AoE configuration strings
|
|
|
- * aoe-discover - trigger discovery of ATA over Ethernet devices
|
|
|
- * aoe-flush - flush the down devices out of the aoe driver
|
|
|
- * aoe-interfaces - restrict network interfaces used for AoE
|
|
|
- * aoe-mkdevs - create character and block device files
|
|
|
- * aoe-mkshelf - create block device files for one shelf address
|
|
|
- * aoeping - simple userland communication with AoE devices
|
|
|
- * aoe-revalidate - revalidate the disk size of an AoE device
|
|
|
- * aoe-sancheck - diagnoses MTU and other network issues
|
|
|
- * aoe-stat - print status information for AoE devices
|
|
|
- * aoe-version - print AoE-related software version information
|
|
|
- * coraid-update - upload an update file to a Coraid appliance
|
|
|
+ The aoetools are the client-side programs of the ATA over Ethernet
|
|
|
+ (AoE) network storage protocol, a simple protocol for using storage
|
|
|
+ over an ethernet LAN.
