SDAOE(3) SDAOE(3)
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

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