markdown—Mark a server as down
mx server markdown <server> ...
This command can be used in situations where Matrix Server is unable to
fence a server that is not communicating with the matrix (for example,
because the server has crashed). The command informs Matrix Server that the
server has been verified to be down and does not need to be fenced, as it
cannot threaten filesystem integrity. For more information, see “Server
Cannot Be Fenced” in Chapter 17 of the PolyServe Matrix Server Administration
Guide.
CAUTION: Be sure to verify that the server is physically down or physically
disconnected from the shared storage before running the mx server
markdown command. Filesystem corruption can occur is the
server is not actually down and can access shared storage. Note
that if the server is left up but is physically disconnected from the
shared storage, it is critical that the server be rebooted before
reconnecting it to shared storage, or filesystem corruption can
occur.
read_license—Read the license file on a server
mx server read_license <server>
start—Start Matrix Server on one or more servers

stop—Stop Matrix Server on one or more servers
