DESCRIPTION
For each
file
specified,
vblade
serves it as an AoE (ATA-over-Ethernet) target via
the specified interfaces. The default interface is
/net/ether0.
Since AoE uses raw Ethernet frames, the target is
only visible on the local ethernet segment.
All target-related options are reset for each
file.
Options
-i
Initialize the configuration header in
file.
All previous configuration information is lost. Without this option,
configuration is read from
file
and command like options override previous settings.
-r
Raw. Do not use a configuration header. This is useful when
exporting a device or file not generally exported by
vblade.
-s n
The exported target will have size
n,
rather than the available space in the target. A size may end in
p,
t,
g,
m,
or
k
to specify a customary
binary
multiplier.
-a m.n
Specify the shelf and slot (or major and minor) address of the target.
Valid shelf numbers are between 0 and 65534. Valid slots are 0-255.
-c s
Set the AoE config string to
s.
-e ether
Listen to the network port
ether.
Multiple ports may be specified.

BUGS
Security depends on control of the local Ethernet segment. It may be
unwise to serve AoE on a segment bridged to a wireless network.
