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 SOURCE /sys/src/9/port/sdaoe.c SEE ALSO aoe(3), sd(3), 9load(8), snoopy(8) BUGS It is not currently possible to boot from an AoE target without an external bootstrap like PXE.
