NAME
aoe-discover - tell aoe driver to discover AoE devices
SYNOPSIS
aoe-discover
DESCRIPTION
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.
EXAMPLE
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.
nai:~# modprobe aoe aoe_iflist="eth0"
