3.5.1 Matrix Server Administration Guide

Chapter 2: Matrix Administration 39

If you specify both --stop and --hard, the mxinit command first

attempts the --stop operation. If it fails, mxinit then executes the

--hard operation.

• -H, --hard

Perform a hard, immediate stop of the Matrix Server processes. mxinit

first attempts to terminate any applications accessing PSFS

filesystems. It then unmounts the filesystems, terminates the Matrix

Server processes, and unloads Matrix Server modules.

• -L, --load-mod

Load all Matrix Server modules.

• -U, --unload-mod

Unload all Matrix Server modules.

• -v, --verbose

Print verbose output about each step of the mxinit operation.

• -m, --monitor

Explicitly tell mxinit to monitor processes. This is the default when

mxinit is invoked to start Matrix Server.

• -M, --no-monitor

Explicitly tell mxinit not to monitor processes.

• --hba-status

Display the state of the FibreChannel host bus adapter drivers.

Administer init.d Scripts

When services such as NFS or Samba are configured on PSFS filesystems,

Matrix Server must be started before the service is started. To ensure that

Matrix Server starts before the service, modify the /etc/init.d script for the

desired service and add pmxs as a dependency.
