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  fea-
       ture 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.
