Description: Provide information about RNBD-client.
|
|
All sysfs files that are not read-only provide the usage information on read:
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
# cat /sys/class/rnbd-client/ctl/map_device
|
|
|
|
> Usage: echo "sessname=<name of the rtrs session> path=<[srcaddr,]dstaddr>
|
|
> [path=<[srcaddr,]dstaddr>] device_path=<full path on remote side>
|
|
> [access_mode=<ro|rw|migration>] > map_device
|
|
>
|
|
> addr ::= [ ip:<ipv4> | ip:<ipv6> | gid:<gid> ]

Description: Expected format is the following:
|
|
|
|
sessname=<name of the rtrs session>
|
|
path=<[srcaddr,]dstaddr> [path=<[srcaddr,]dstaddr> ...]
|
|
device_path=<full path on remote side>
|
|
[access_mode=<ro|rw|migration>]
|
|
|
|
Where:
|
|
|
|
sessname: accepts a string not bigger than 256 chars, which identifies
|
|
a given session on the client and on the server.
|
|
I.e. "clt_hostname-srv_hostname" could be a natural choice.
|
|
|
|
path: describes a connection between the client and the server by
|
|
specifying destination and, when required, the source address.
|
|
The addresses are to be provided in the following format:
|
|
|
|
ip:<IPv6>
|
|
ip:<IPv4>
|
|
gid:<GID>
|
|
|
|
for example:
|
|
|
|
path=ip:10.0.0.66
|
|
The single addr is treated as the destination.
|
|
The connection will be established to this server from any client IP address.
|
|
|
|
path=ip:10.0.0.66,ip:10.0.1.66
|
|
First addr is the source address and the second is the destination.
|
|
|
|
If multiple "path=" options are specified multiple connection
|
|
will be established and data will be sent according to
|
|
the selected multipath policy (see RTRS mp_policy sysfs entry description).
|
|
|
|
device_path: Path to the block device on the server side. Path is specified
|
|
relative to the directory on server side configured in the
|
|
'dev_search_path' module parameter of the rnbd_server.
|
|
The rnbd_server prepends the <device_path> received from client
|
|
with <dev_search_path> and tries to open the
|
|
<dev_search_path>/<device_path> block device. On success,
|
|
a /dev/rnbd<N> device file, a /sys/block/rnbd_client/rnbd<N>/
|
|
directory and an entry in /sys/class/rnbd-client/ctl/devices
|
|
will be created.
|
|
|
|
If 'dev_search_path' contains '%SESSNAME%', then each session can
|
|
have different devices namespace, e.g. server was configured with
|
|
the following parameter "dev_search_path=/run/rnbd-devs/%SESSNAME%",
|
|
client has this string "sessname=blya device_path=sda", then server
|
|
will try to open: /run/rnbd-devs/blya/sda.
|
|
|
|
access_mode: the access_mode parameter specifies if the device is to be
|
|
mapped as "ro" read-only or "rw" read-write. The server allows
|
|
a device to be exported in rw mode only once. The "migration"
|
|
access mode has to be specified if a second mapping in read-write
|
|
mode is desired.
|
|
|
|
By default "rw" is used.
|
|
|
|
Exit Codes:
|
|
|
|
If the device is already mapped it will fail with EEXIST. If the input
|
|
has an invalid format it will return EINVAL. If the device path cannot
|
|
be found on the server, it will fail with ENOENT.
|
|
|
|
Finding device file after mapping
|
|
---------------------------------
|
|
|
|
After mapping, the device file can be found by:
|
|
o The symlink /sys/class/rnbd-client/ctl/devices/<device_id>
|
|
points to /sys/block/<dev-name>. The last part of the symlink destination
|
|
is the same as the device name. By extracting the last part of the
|
|
path the path to the device /dev/<dev-name> can be build.
|
|
|
|
o /dev/block/$(cat /sys/class/rnbd-client/ctl/devices/<device_id>/dev)
|
|
|
|
How to find the <device_id> of the device is described on the next
|
|
section.

Description: For each device mapped on the client a new symbolic link is created as
|
|
/sys/class/rnbd-client/ctl/devices/<device_id>, which points
|
|
to the block device created by rnbd (/sys/block/rnbd<N>/).
|
|
The <device_id> of each device is created as follows:
|
|
|
|
- If the 'device_path' provided during mapping contains slashes ("/"),
|
|
they are replaced by exclamation mark ("!") and used as as the
|
|
<device_id>. Otherwise, the <device_id> will be the same as the
|
|
"device_path" provided.
