HP Clustered Gateway Device Management Software Membership Partition Status, Repair Menu Options

Chapter 1: Matrix Server Commands 18

Membership Partition Status

The Repair Menu reports the status of each membership partition. The status will be one of the following:

OK. The membership partition is included in the local membership partition list. This is the normal status.

NOT FOUND. The mxmpconf utility cannot find the device containing the membership partition.

INACCESSIBLE. The mxmpconf utility cannot access the device containing the membership partition.

CORRUPT. The partition is not valid.

MISMATCH. The membership partition is valid but its MP list does not match the server’s local MP list.

If the status is NOT FOUND or INACCESSIBLE, there may be a problem with the disk or with another SAN component. When the problem is repaired, the status should return to OK.

If the status is CORRUPT, you should resilver the partition. This step copies the membership data from a valid membership partition to the corrupted partition.

NOTE: The membership partition may have become corrupt because it was used by another application. Before resilvering, verify that it is okay to overwrite any existing data on the partition.

If the status is MISMATCH, you will need to determine which membership partitions are correct (either the partitions specified in the local MP list, or the partition labeled MISMATCH) and resilver accordingly.
