Chapter 18: SAN Maintenance 235

The Add option asks you to select the SAN disk containing the new

partition. The partitions on that disk are then displayed. To select a

partition, move to that partition and press the spacebar. (The minimum

size for a membership partition is 100 MB.) The local path to that partition

then appears at the bottom of the window. Select Done to complete the

operation.

The new partition is configured as a membership partition, the data on

the existing membership partitions is copied to it, and the local

membership partition list and the lists on the existing membership

partitions are updated.

Inactivate a Membership Partition. This option can be used to inactivate

membership partitions that are marked as active but are not part of the

current set defined by the membership partition list.

When you select the Inactivate option, the Membership Partition

Inactivate window lists all of the active membership partitions that

mxmpconf has located. Select the partitions be to inactivated from this

window.

This option is useful if the matrix includes old membership partitions that

are marked active or if you want to import a disk that contains an active

membership partition.
