Other AoE client not working: No devices found in /dev/ directory

[Norbert]

Hello.

I am trying to build SAN on ATA over Ethernet protocol.

On FreeBSD AoE server are successful exported target devices.
But on FreeBSD AoE client I don't see any of them in /dev/ directory.

Sysctl from AoE client:

root@blade:~ # sysctl -a | grep aoe
kern.module_path: /boot/kernel;/boot/modules;/usr/local/lib/aoe
net.aoe.maxwait: 180
net.aoe.wc: 1
net.aoe.devices:
aoed13 rl0 UP (1024)
aoed12 rl0 UP (1024)
aoed11 rl0 UP (1024)
net.aoe.iflist: rl0

AoE service restart on AoE client:

root@blade:~ # service aoe restart
Starting AoE: rl0.
net.aoe.devices:
aoed13 rl0 UP (1024)
aoed12 rl0 UP (1024)
aoed11 rl0 UP (1024)
Mounting AoE blades:.

Anybody help?
Thank You.

Welcome Norbert, could you please be so kind and provide some more information?

• Which guide did you follow to set up net/aoe?
• Which operating are you using on the server and on the client (e.g. 10.1-RELEASE, shown via uname -a)
• What options did you set in your config files?
• Do the ATA over Ethernet devices have to be exported in a specific way? And how do you mount or use these on the client?

Sadly I know nothing about ATA over Ethernet, but I think there should be some man pages like man aoe for this?
Maybe someone else here knows more about net/aoe.

Thanks gqgunhed fo reply.

AoE client is running FreeBSD 10.1-RELEASE AMD64.
AoE server (vblade) is running FreeBSD 10.1-RELEASE i386.

I resigned from AoE.
I'm using iSCSI now.

Thank You.
