Hello. There is a new revision of the ATA over Ethernet network protocol. http://support.coraid.com/documents/AoEr11.txt http://support.coraid.com/documents/AoEr11.pdf
If you forget where to find it, you can always look under "technology" at www.coraid.com. http://www.coraid.com/TECHNOLOGY/AoE-Protocol-Definition This revision has two main differences from AoEr10. 1) It documents a mechanism used to update the mask list on a storage appliance. 2) It documents a new reserve/release command. Both newly specified mechanisms are motivated by the needs of clusters using AoE storage. The first allows clusters to fence nodes out through manipulation of mask lists. The second should help Windows clusters to use AoE storage. Coraid remains committed to simplicity. These extensions were only added after careful deliberation in the face of real-world needs. AoE targets that do not support them can return "unrecognized command code". -- Ed Cashin <ecas...@coraid.com> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Open Source Business Conference (OSBC), March 24-25, 2009, San Francisco, CA -OSBC tackles the biggest issue in open source: Open Sourcing the Enterprise -Strategies to boost innovation and cut costs with open source participation -Receive a $600 discount off the registration fee with the source code: SFAD http://p.sf.net/sfu/XcvMzF8H _______________________________________________ Aoetools-discuss mailing list Aoetools-discuss@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/aoetools-discuss
