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"
              nai:~# aoe-stat
                 e10.9            eth0              up
              nai:~# aoe-interfaces eth0 eth3
              nai:~# aoe-discover
              nai:~# aoe-stat
                  e7.0            eth3              up
                  e7.1            eth3              up
                  e7.2            eth3              up
                  e7.3            eth3              up
                  e7.4            eth3              up
                  e7.5            eth3              up
                  e7.6            eth3              up
                  e7.7            eth3              up
                  e7.8            eth3              up
                  e7.9            eth3              up
                 e10.9            eth0              up
