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.
