  1. The aoetools are programs that assist in using ATA over Ethernet. For
  2. now, the tools are designed to work with the "aoe" driver for Linux
  3. 2.6 kernels. Support for 2.4 kernels and other operating systems
  4. would be helpful, but we're starting with 2.6 support.
  5. If you need to configure the software, look at the variables at the
  6. top of the Makefile. The defaults should work for most people. When
  7. using the defaults there's only one step to configure and install the
  8. aoetools software and documentation:
  9. make install
  10. You'll need sufficient permissions to install in the default locations
  11. if you haven't overridden them with your own locations.
  12. Here is a brief list of the tools. Please see the man pages for
  13. further details.
  14. aoe-discover trigger discovery of ATA over Ethernet devices
  15. aoe-interfaces restrict network interfaces used for AoE
  16. aoe-mkdevs create character and block device files
  17. aoe-mkshelf create block device files for one shelf address
