+ | ===== Installing the AoE target software ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | If you do not have dedicated AoE target hardware, you will need to install the //vblade// package. Most distros seem to provide this package; if yours doesn't then you can download the source for the latest version from [[http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=130453&package_id=143790]]. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Adding an AoE target image ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | To add a disk image file as an AoE target, you need to add a single line to ///etc/vblade.conf//: | ||
+ | |||
+ | ethX N M /path/to/image/file.img | ||
+ | |||
+ | where //ethX// is the network device via which you want to serve the image, ///path/to/image/file.img// is the path to the disk image file, and //N M// is a unique AoE shelf:slot number within your network. (If this is the only AoE target disk you are setting up, just use //0 0//.) | ||
+ | |||
+ | The AoE target name for this disk image is | ||
+ | |||
+ | eN.M | ||
+ | |||
+ | where //N// and //M// are the shelf and slot numbers you specified in ///etc/vblade.conf//. For example, if your ///etc/vblade.conf// line reads | ||
+ | |||
+ | eth2 0 0 /var/lib/images/win2k3.img | ||
+ | |||
+ | then the AoE target name is | ||
+ | |||
+ | e0.0 | ||
+ | |||
+ | Make a note of this AoE target name. You are now ready to | ||
