Start or stop HP Scalable NAS with mxinit
Typically, the pmxs script is used to start or stop HP Scalable NAS. However, if you
want to see verbose output during the start or stop operation, you can run mxinit
manually with the --verbose option.
You can use the following mxinit options to start or stop HP Scalable NAS:
-s, --start
Start the HP Scalable NAS processes.
-x, --stop
Gently stop the HP Scalable NAS processes. mxinit first attempts to unmount
PSFS filesystems. If the unmount fails (for example, NFS determines there are
references to mounted filesystems), the gentle stop operation will also fail.
If you specify both --stop and --hard, the mxinit command first attempts
the --stop operation. If it fails, mxinit then executes the --hard operation.
-H, --hard
Perform a hard, immediate stop of the HP Scalable NAS processes. mxinit first
attempts to terminate any applications accessing PSFS filesystems. It then unmounts
the filesystems, terminates the HP Scalable NAS processes, and unloads HP
Scalable NAS modules.
-L, --load-mod
Load all HP Scalable NAS modules.
-U, --unload-mod
Unload all HP Scalable NAS modules.
-v, --verbose
Print verbose output about each step of the mxinit operation.
-m, --monitor
Explicitly tell mxinit to monitor processes. This is the default when mxinit is
invoked to start HP Scalable NAS.
-M, --no-monitor
Explicitly tell mxinit not to monitor processes.
--hba-status
Display the state of the Fibre Channel host bus adapter drivers.
