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
