NAME

       aoe-flush - flush the down devices out of the aoe driver

SYNOPSIS

       aoe-flush [-a]
       aoe-flush dev1 [dev2 ...]

DESCRIPTION

       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.

OPTIONS

       -a     The -a option tells the aoe driver to forget all unused devices.

EXAMPLE

       nai# aoe-stat | grep e12.0
            e12.0         0.000GB   eth1 down
       nai# aoe-flush
       nai# aoe-stat | grep e12.0

BUGS

       Flushed devices may reappear when they are discovered by the periodic discovery beacon.  aoe-discover may
       be used to force this behaviour.
