The aoetools are programs that assist in using ATA over Ethernet.  For
now, the tools are designed to work with the "aoe" driver for Linux
2.6 kernels.  Support for 2.4 kernels and other operating systems
would be helpful, but we're starting with 2.6 support.
If you need to configure the software, look at the variables at the
top of the Makefile.  The defaults should work for most people.  When
using the defaults there's only one step to configure and install the
aoetools software and documentation:
  make install
You'll need sufficient permissions to install in the default locations
if you haven't overridden them with your own locations.
Here is a brief list of the tools.  Please see the man pages for
further details.
  aoe-discover		trigger discovery of ATA over Ethernet devices
  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
  aoe-stat		print status information for AoE devices
  aoeping		simple userland communication with AoE devices
