NAME

       aoe-flush - flush the down devices out of the aoe driver

SYNOPSIS

       aoe-flush [-a]
       aoe-flush dev1 [dev2 ...]

DESCRIPTION

       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.

OPTIONS

       -a     The -a option tells the aoe driver to forget all unused devices.

EXAMPLE

       nai# aoe-stat | grep e12.0
            e12.0         0.000GB   eth1 down
       nai# aoe-flush
       nai# aoe-stat | grep e12.0

BUGS

       Flushed  devices  may  reappear when they are discovered by the periodic discovery beacon.
       aoe-discover may be used to force this behaviour.
