aoe-discover - tell aoe driver to discover AoE devices
aoe-discover
The aoe-discover command tells the aoe driver to discover
ATA over Ethernet (AoE) devices on the network. All network interfaces
will be probed with a AoE config query broadcast.
If the aoe-interfaces
command has limited the allowable network interfaces, only devices discovered
via allowable interfaces will become available. The default is to make
available all AoE devices found on all accessible ethernet networks.
It’s
good to run the aoe-discover command after running aoe-interfaces.
In
this example, the root user on a host named nai loads the aoe module with
only eth0 allowable for AoE traffic. After remembering that shelf 7 is
on eth3, this sysadmin uses aoe-interfaces to add eth3 to the list of allowable
network interfaces and then calls aoe-discover to ask the aoe driver to
look for new AoE devices.
