The mx config mp Commands
The mx config mp set and repair commands can be used while Matrix
Server is either online or offline; however, only the operations listed
under “Online Operations” on page 268 can be performed while Matrix
Server is running. For other operations, Matrix Server must be offline on
all nodes in the matrix.
Determine Disks/Partitions Available for Membership Partitions
To determine the disks that can be used for membership partitions, run
this command:
mx config mp list_avail_disks [--noHeaders] [--csv]
[--showBorder]
Next, run the following command to see a list of the available partitions
on one of the available disks.
mx config mp list_avail_partitions [--noHeaders] [--csv]
[--showBorder] <disk uuid>
Add Membership Partitions
Use this command to add new membership partitions:
mx config mp set [--recreate] [--force] [--reuse] <uuid1/partno>
[<uuid2/partno> <uuid3/partno>]
A matrix can have either one or three membership partitions. Specify the
UUIDs and partition numbers for the partitions to be added. If you are
adding two membership partitions, you will need to specify the existing
membership partition and the two partitions that will be added.
The options are:
--recreate
Allow existing membership partition information to be destroyed.
--force
Force membership partition replacements to occur even if the partitions
to be replaced cannot be invalidated.
