The mx config mp Commands
The mx config mp set and repair commands can be used while HP
Clustered File System is either online or offline; however, only the
operations listed under “Online Operations” on page 241 can be
performed while HP Clustered File System is running. For other
operations, HP Clustered File System must be offline on all nodes in the
cluster.
Determine Disks/Partitions Available for Membership Partitions
To determine the disks that can be used for membership partitions, run
this command:
mx config mp list_avail_disks
Next, run the following command to see a list of the available partitions
on one of the available disks.
mx config mp list_avail_partitions [--noHeaders] [--csv]
[--showBorder] <disk uuid>
Add Membership Partitions
Use this command to add new membership partitions:
mx config mp set [--recreate] [--force] [--reuse] <uuid1/partno>
[<uuid2/partno> <uuid3/partno>]
A cluster can have either one or three membership partitions. Specify the
UUIDs and partition numbers for the partitions to be added. If you are
adding two membership partitions, you will need to specify the existing
membership partition and the two partitions that will be added.
The options are:
--recreate
Allow existing membership partition information to be destroyed.
--force
Force membership partition replacements to occur even if the partitions
to be replaced cannot be invalidated.
