The vblade is the virtual EtherDrive (R) blade, a program that makes a
|
||
|
|
seekable file available over an ethernet local area network (LAN) via
|
||
|
|
the ATA over Ethernet (AoE) protocol.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The seekable file is typically a block device like /dev/md0 but even
|
||
|
|
regular files will work. Sparse files can be especially convenient.
|
||
|
|
When vblade exports the block storage over AoE it becomes a storage
|
||
|
|
target. Another host on the same LAN can access the storage if it has
|
||
|
|
a compatible aoe kernel driver.
