NAME

6       aoe-flush - flush the down devices out of the aoe driver
7

SYNOPSIS

9       aoe-flush [-a]
10       aoe-flush dev1 [dev2 ...]
11

DESCRIPTION

13       The  aoe-flush  command tells the aoe driver to remove devices from the
14       system and forget about them.  Normally the aoe  driver  will  remember
15       all devices it has seen until the module is unloaded.  By default, aoe-
16       flush will only flush downed devices.  With the -a flag all devices are
17       candidates for removal.
18
19       aoe-flush  will  not  remove  devices  that  are in use.  This includes
20       devices in the closewait  state  or  those  in  the  process  of  being
21       installed.
22
23       By  specifying a series of specific aoe devices, e.g., e7.0 e3.2, it is
24       possible to ask the aoe driver to forget these devices.   This  feature
25       may be convenient after a temporary AoE target is no longer being used.
26

OPTIONS

28       -a     The -a option tells the aoe driver to forget all unused devices.
29

EXAMPLE

31       nai# aoe-stat | grep e12.0
32            e12.0         0.000GB   eth1 down
33       nai# aoe-flush
34       nai# aoe-stat | grep e12.0
35

BUGS

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