- The aoetools are programs that assist in using ATA over Ethernet on
- systems with version 2.6 Linux kernels.
- Systems running 2.4 Linux kernels do not need and should not install
- the aoetools. The aoe driver for 2.4 kernels is self sufficient.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------
- AOE DRIVER COMPATIBILITY
- ATA over Ethernet (AoE) devices have a shelf address and a slot
- address. The aoe driver used to support only 10 slots per shelf
- address. The 2.6.14 kernel contains an aoe driver that supports up
- to 16 slots per shelf address. This change means that ...
-
- 1. It's easy to use the aoetools that come bundled with the aoe
- driver at the Coraid website.
-
- 2. It's easy to use aoetools-8 or later with kernels 2.6.14 or
- later.
-
- 3. It's easy to use other combinations as long as you read the
- information in the devnodes.txt file here.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------
- 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-flush ask aoe driver to forget down 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-revalidate ask the aoe driver to update its state for a device
- aoe-stat print status information for AoE devices
- aoeping simple userland communication with AoE devices
