Plan 9 /sys/man/3/sdaoe

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 /dev/sdl0/ctl /dev/sdl0/raw /dev/sdl0/data...

DESCRIPTION

Sdaoe has a few quirks because network–attached storage can't be enumerated as directly–attached storage can. The default first letter for AoE devices is e. Each sdaoe device must be configured explicitly. To configure target 42.0 on sde0:

echo config switch on spec e type aoe//dev/aoe/42.0 >/dev/sdctl

To turn this device off,

echo config switch off spec e >/dev/sdctl

To boot from an AoE root, the sd device must be configured on boot. To accomplish this, one must either PXE boot or boot from direct–attached storage and add two configuration lines to plan9.ini(8). For example, to boot using target 42.0 as sde0 as root over Ethernet interfaces 0 and 1,
aoeif=ether0 ether1 aoedev=e!#æ/aoe/42.0

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