Maintain Membership Partitions with the Repair Option

The Repair Menu allows you to view the membership partition

configuration and to perform several maintenance activities.

The Repair Menu lists the current membership partitions according to the

membership file maintained on the server where you are running the

utility. Each server in the matrix has a membership partition file, which is

called the “local MP list.” Each SAN disk containing a membership

partition also has its own list of the membership partitions. Under normal

operations, these lists should all match.

Membership Partition Status

The status reported for each membership partition 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.
