NAME

       vblade-persist - manage persistent exported ATA-over-Ethernet devices

SYNOPSIS

    vblade-persist ls [--no-header]
    vblade-persist setup shelf slot netif blockdev
    vblade-persist destroy shelf slot
    vblade-persist { start | stop | restart | auto | noauto } shelf slot
    vblade-persist { start | stop | restart | auto | noauto } all
    vblade-persist mac shelf slot { ls | clear }
    vblade-persist mac shelf slot { add | del } [ addr ... ]

DESCRIPTION

       The  vblade-persist  script is used to show and manipulate persistently-exported ATA-over-
       Ethernet devices.  It has a simple subcommand syntax.

       Persistent AoE device exports can be configured to come up at boot time.  For each running
       persistent   AoE  export,  a  symlink  pointing  to  the  backing  device  is  created  in
       /dev/etherd/, mirroring the devices seen by clients of the AoE device.

MANAGEMENT SUBCOMMANDS

  ls [--noheader]
       vblade-persist ls shows all existing persistent AoE exports.  The columns  of  the  output
       are,  in order: AoE Shelf, AoE Slot, Network Interface, Backing Device, AutoStart, Status.
       AutoStart is either "auto"  (start  automatically  at  boot),  or  "noauto"  (don't  start
       automatically at boot).  Status should be either "run" (running) or "down" (not running).

       The  optional --no-header argument suppresses the header line.  This may be convenient for
       machine-parseable output.

  setup shelf slot netif source
       vblade-persist setup creates a new persistent exported AoE block device.  You must  supply
       all  four  additional arguments.  These are the same arguments supplied to vblade(8).  You
       should specify source using an absolute path.

       New devices set up this way are noauto (not brought up automatically  at  boot)  and  down
       (not exported immediately).

  destroy shelf slot
       vblade-persist  destroy  halts  any  running  exported AoE block device managed by vblade-
       persist and removes the service directory used to manage it.

  start shelf slot
  stop shelf slot
  restart shelf slot
       These commands control a specific exported AoE device.  Instead of  specifying  shelf  and
       slot  ,  you can also provide the special keyword all which will act on every exported AoE
       device.

  auto shelf slot
  noauto shelf slot
       These  commands  control  whether  a  specific  exported  AoE  device  should  be  started
       automatically ( auto ) or not ( noauto ) at system boot time.  Instead of specifying shelf
       and slot , you can also provide the special keyword all which will act on  every  exported
       AoE device.

MAC-ADDRESS FILTERING

       You  can  use  vblade-persist to restrict access to specific exports by MAC address, using
       the mac subcommand.

  mac shelf slot ls
       List all MAC addresses allowed to access the specified device, one per line.  If the  list
       is empty, no MAC address limits are imposed on this device.

  mac shelf slot clear
       Remove all MAC address filtering from the specified device.  No MAC address limits will be
       imposed on this device.

  mac shelf slot add [ addr ... ]
       Add a MAC address (or more than one) to the list of allowed addresses  for  the  specified
       device.   Note that if there were no MAC addresses listed previously, this will enable MAC
       address filtering for the device.

  mac shelf slot del [ addr ... ]
       Remove a MAC address (or more than one)  from  the  list  of  allowed  addresses  for  the
       specific  device.   Note that if you remove all the MAC addresses from the list, this will
       disable MAC address filtering for the device.

EXAMPLES

       Set up /dev/sda2 as shelf 2, slot 3 on the network served by interface eth0.  Make sure it
       starts automatically at boot, and start it up now:

          vblade-persist setup 2 3 eth0 /dev/sda2
          vblade-persist auto 2 3
          vblade-persist start 2 3

       Limit that same export to MAC addresses aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff and 11:22:33:44:55:66:

          vblade-persist mac 2 3 add aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff 11:22:33:44:55:66

       Remove all MAC address restrictions on the same export:

          vblade-persist mac 2 3 clear

BUGS

       You  can't currently use the vblade-persist framework to export a device (or two) with the
       same shelf/slot identifier on two different network interfaces.

DEPENDENCIES

       The exports  themselves  are  handled  by  vblade(8).   Supervision  of  the  exports  and
       convenient management is enabled by runsv(8), from the runit suite.
