mx config mp – membership partition commands

Use the following commands to manage membership partitions on an online or

offline matrix

NOTE: If you are performing the initial configuration of a matrix, the mx

config, mx config mp, and mp config snapshot commands must be

entered in a specific order. See Appendix A in the PolyServe Matrix

Server Installation Guide for more information.

In general, these commands can be used when Matrix Server is online or

offline. However, when Matrix Server is running, the set and repair

commands can be used only under the following circumstances:

• A disk containing a membership partition is out-of-service (use the set

command to move the partition to another disk).

• You need to move one or more membership partitions to different storage

(use the set command to move the partitions one-at-a-time).

• In a matrix with three membership partitions, when Matrix Server started

on a server, it reported that a single membership partition was corrupt

(use the repair command to resilver the partition or use set to replace the

partition).

• Your matrix contains a single membership partition and you want to add

two more partitions (use the set command).
