only if there are fewer than three membership partitions. All membership

partitions must have a status of OK.

Remove

Remove an existing membership partition. This operation removes the

membership data and formatting from the partition. It also deletes the

partition from the local MP list and from the membership partition lists on

the remaining membership partitions.

Replace

Remove an existing membership partition and then select a partition to

replace it. (When you have completed your selections, choose “Done”.) All

membership partitions must currently have a status of OK.

Display

Show the local membership partition list on the server where you are

running mxmpconf. This option also displays the lists located on the disks

containing the membership partitions. The output also includes the device

database records for the disks containing the membership partitions.

Search the SAN for all partitions that appear to be membership partitions.

The output includes each membership partition found by the search and

specifies whether the partition is active or inactive. The output also

displays the membership lists from the membership partitions and the

database records for the partitions.

Inactivate

Inactivate membership partitions that are marked as active but are not

part of the current set defined by the membership partition list. 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.

Clear the Host Registry

Remove all entries from the server registry.

CAUTION: Before clearing the server registry, be sure to reboot or power

off any servers that were previously removed from the matrix and

no longer had access to the SAN. After the servers have been

rebooted, they can safely access the SAN. (If the servers are not

rebooted, it is possible for them to corrupt filesystems.)
