Export Configuration Changes
When you change the membership partition configuration with
mprepair, it updates the membership list on the local server. It also
updates the lists on the disks containing the membership partitions
specified in the local MP file.
After making changes with mprepair, you will need to export the
configuration to the other servers in the matrix. To do this, start Matrix
Server on the server where you ran mprepair and then connect to the
PolyServe Management Console. Select File > Configure to display the
Configure Matrix window and go to the Matrix Wide Configuration tab.
Select the other servers in the Address column and then click Export.
mprepair Options
Matrix Server can operate with either one membership partition or three
membership partitions. To ensure that a membership partition is always
available, we recommend that you use three membership partitions.
Display Membership Partitions. To display information about
membership partitions, type the following command:
mprepair --display_mplists
The output shows the local membership partition list on the server where
you are running mprepair. It then compares this list with 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. Following is an example.

These membership partitions contain a membership partition list
which matches the local membership partition file list:
