aoe-flush - flush the down devices out of the aoe driver
aoe-flush [-a]
aoe-flush dev1 [dev2 ...]
The
aoe-flush command tells the aoe driver to remove devices from the
system and forget about them. Normally the aoe driver will remember all
devices it has seen until the module is unloaded. By default,
aoe-flush
will only flush downed devices. With the
-a flag all devices are
candidates for removal.
aoe-flush will not remove devices that are in use. This includes devices
in the closewait state or those in the process of being installed.
By specifying a series of specific aoe devices, e.g.,
e7.0 e3.2, it is
possible to ask the aoe driver to forget these devices. This feature may be
convenient after a temporary AoE target is no longer being used.
- -a
- The -a option tells the aoe driver to forget all
unused devices.
nai# aoe-stat | grep e12.0
e12.0 0.000GB eth1 down
nai# aoe-flush
nai# aoe-stat | grep e12.0
Flushed devices may reappear when they are discovered by the periodic discovery
beacon.
aoe-discover may be used to force this behaviour.
