NAME
sdaoe – ATA–over–Ethernet (AoE) storage device interface |
SYNOPSIS
bind –a #S /dev echo config switch on spec l type aoe//dev/aoe/shelf.slot >/dev/sdctl echo config switch off spec l >/dev/sdctl /dev/sdl0/ctl /dev/sdl0/raw /dev/sdl0/data ... addaoe letter unit |
DESCRIPTION
Sdaoe has a few quirks because network–attached storage can't be
enumerated as directly–attached storage can. The default first
controller letter for AoE devices is e. Each sdaoe device must
be configured explicitly. Addaoe packages up the switch on invocation as an rc script.
To boot from an AoE root, the sd device must be configured on
boot by either PXE booting or booting from directly–attached storage
and adding two configuration lines to plan9.ini(8) for aoeif,
listing the names of the Ethernet interface(s) to use, and aoedev=letter!#æ/aoe/lun. |
EXAMPLES
To configure target (LUN) 42.0 on #S/sde0,

BUGS
It is not currently possible to boot from an AoE target without
an external bootstrap like PXE. |
