Chapter 1: Matrix Server Commands 19

NOTE: If you resilver from a partition that is labeled MISMATCH, the operation may initialize partitions that are not currently membership partitions; any existing data on those partitions will be overwritten. Use the Display option to see the membership partition lists for the current membership partitions.

Add

Allows you to select a new membership partition. This operation configures the new partition as a membership partition, copies the data on the existing membership partitions to the new partition, and updates the local MP list and the lists on the existing membership partitions. This option appears only if there are fewer than three membership partitions. All membership partitions must have a status of OK.

Remove

Allows you to remove an existing membership partition. This operation removes the membership data and formatting from the partition. It also deletes the partition from the local MP list and from the membership partition lists on the remaining membership partitions.

Replace

Allows you to remove an existing membership partition and then to select a partition to replace it. (When you have completed your selections, choose “Done”.) All membership partitions must currently have a status of OK.

Display

Shows the local membership partition list on the server where you are running mxmpconf and also displays the lists located on the disks containing the membership partitions. The output also includes the device database records for the disks containing the membership partitions.

Search

Searches the SAN for all partitions that appear to be membership partitions. The output includes each membership partition found by the search and specifies whether the partition is active or inactive. The output also displays the membership lists from the membership partitions and the database records for the partitions.

Inactivate

Inactivates membership partitions that are marked as active but are not part of the current set defined by the membership partition list. This
