man vblade (Administration système) - export data via ATA over Ethernet

NAME

vblade, vbladed - export data via ATA over Ethernet

SYNOPSIS

vblade {shelf} {slot} {netif} {filename}

DESCRIPTION

The vblade command starts a process that uses raw sockets to perform ATA over Ethernet, acting like a virtual EtherDrive (R) blade.

The vbladed script can be used to daemonize the vblade process, detaching it from your terminal and sending its output to the system logs.

Arguments

shelf
This should be the shelf address (major AoE address) of the AoE device to create.
slot
This should be the slot address (minor AoE address) of the AoE device to create.
netif
The name of the ethernet network interface to use for AoE communications.
filename
The name of the regular file or block device to export.

EXAMPLE

In this example, the root user on a host named nai exports a file named "3TB" to the LAN on eth0 using AoE shelf address 11 and slot address 1. The process runs in the foreground. Using vbladed would have resulted in the process running as a daemon in the background.

nai:~# vblade 11 1 eth0 /data/3TB
