aoe-flush - flush the down devices out of the aoe driver
aoe-flush [-a]aoe-flush dev1 [dev2 ...]
The aoe-flush command tells
the aoe driver to remove devices from the system and forget about them.
Normally the aoe driver will remember all devices it has seen until the
module is unloaded. By default, aoe-flush will only flush downed devices.
With the -a flag all devices are candidates for removal.
aoe-flush will not
remove devices that are in use. This includes devices in the closewait
state or those in the process of being installed.
By specifying a series
of specific aoe devices, e.g., e7.0 e3.2, it is possible to ask the aoe driver
to forget these devices. This feature may be convenient after a temporary
AoE target is no longer being used.
- -a
- The -a option tells the aoe
driver to forget all unused devices.
nai# aoe-stat | grep e12.0
e12.0 0.000GB eth1 down

nai# aoe-stat | grep e12.0
Flushed devices may reappear when they are discovered by the periodic
discovery beacon. aoe-discover may be used to force this behaviour.
