.TH VBLADE 8 .SH NAME vblade \- virtual AoE target .SH SYNOPSIS .B disk/vblade [ .B -ir ] [ .B -s .I size ] [ .B -a .I shelf.slot ] [ .B -c .I config ] .B file [ .B -e ether ] .SH DESCRIPTION For each .I file specified, .I vblade serves it as an AoE (ATA-over-Ethernet) target via the specified interfaces. The default interface is .BR /net/ether0 . Since AoE uses raw Ethernet frames, the target is only visible on the local ethernet segment. .PP All target-related options are reset for each .IR file . .SS Options .TP \w'\fL-e\ \fIetherXX'u .B -i Initialize the configuration header in .IR file . All previous configuration information is lost. Without this option, configuration is read from .I file and command like options override previous settings. .TP .B -r Raw. Do not use a configuration header. This is useful when exporting a device or file not generally exported by .IR vblade . .TP .BI -s " n" The exported target will have size .IR n , rather than the available space in the target. A size may end in .LR p , .LR t , .LR g , .LR m , or .LR k to specify a customary .I binary multiplier. .TP .BI -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. .TP .BI -c " s" Set the AoE config string to .IR s . .TP .BI -e " ether" Listen to the network port .IR ether. Multiple ports may be specified. .SH SEE ALSO .IR aoe (3), .IR sdaoe (3), .IR http://www.coraid.com/documents/AoEr11.txt . .SH SOURCE .B /sys/src/cmd/disk/vblade .SH 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.
