6 aoe-discover - tell aoe driver to discover AoE devices

12 The aoe-discover command tells the aoe driver to discover ATA over Eth‐
13 ernet (AoE) devices on the network. All network interfaces will be
14 probed with a AoE config query broadcast.
15 If the aoe-interfaces command has limited the allowable network inter‐
17 faces, only devices discovered via allowable interfaces will become
18 available. The default is to make available all AoE devices found on
19 all accessible ethernet networks.
20 It's good to run the aoe-discover command after running aoe-interfaces.
22
24 In this example, the root user on a host named nai loads the aoe module
25 with only eth0 allowable for AoE traffic. After remembering that shelf
26 7 is on eth3, this sysadmin uses aoe-interfaces to add eth3 to the list
27 of allowable network interfaces and then calls aoe-discover to ask the
28 aoe driver to look for new AoE devices.
