Using ATA Over Ethernet On Debian Etch
Author: rodolphe • Tags: debian, storage • Comments: 2Using ATA Over Ethernet On Debian Etch Imagine you have a machine with all of its disk full and another with unused gigabytes, and you don't want to move the data from one to the other. Why not using the second's disk on the first, you can do it with iSCSI but you can do it with ATA over Ethernet (AoE) too. It's the second method I'll explain in this article. All of this was made with two computers running Debian Etch.

Using ATA Over Ethernet (AoE) On Debian Lenny (Initiator And Target)

Comments: 0 Using ATA Over Ethernet (AoE) On Debian Lenny (Initiator And Target) This guide explains how you can set up an AoE target and an AoE initiator (client), both running Debian Lenny. AoE stands for "ATA over Ethernet" and is a storage area network (SAN) protocol which allows AoE initiators to use storage devices on the (remote) AoE target using normal ethernet cabling. "Remote" in this case means "inside the same LAN" because AoE is not routable outside a LAN (this is a major difference compared to iSCSI). To the AoE initiator, the remote storage looks like a normal, locally-attached hard drive.
