volume.) The utility can also be used to deport disks or dynamic volumes from the SCL database or to replace a specific UID with a different UID.

NOTE: Matrix Server must be stopped on all nodes when mpimport is used. Database corruption can occur if the utility is executed while Matrix Server is running on a node. mpimport fails if Matrix Server is running on the current node; however, it does not check the other nodes.

mpimport does not check for the physical presence of the disks or subdevices that it is importing and, for example, allows the devices to be imported even if they are not physically visible on the server. Consequently, successfully completion of the utility does not mean that the imported disks are valid.

The options are:

mpimport <uid> [<uid> ...]

Import the set of disks corresponding to the specified UIDs.

mpimport --local<devname> [<devname> ...]

Import the set of disks corresponding to the specified local disknames.

mpimport -p<psdname> <uid>

Import the disk indicated by the UID and assign the specified psdname to it.

mpimport -p <psdname> --local <devname>

Import the disk indicated by the specified local diskname and assign psdname to it.

mpimport [-s][-M]-F[<psdname><psvname>...]

Import the specified psd or psv devices. If no devices are specified, import all disks and dynamic volumes listed in the default mpdump backup file. If -sis specified, “strict” importing is done; only those disks and dynamic volumes that can be imported using the psdname indicated in inputfile will be imported. If -sis not specified, disks and dynamic volumes will be imported with alternate names if necessary. The -Moption recreates the membership partitions from scratch based on the contents of the backup file.
