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.

will be overwritten. Use the Display option to see the membership

partition lists for the current membership partitions.
