mpimport – restore membership partition data
Synopsis
/opt/hpcfs/lib/mpimport <options>
Description
The mpimport utility can be used to import disks or dynamic volumes into an existing
SCL database. (Either -F or -f is required to import a dynamic volume.) The utility
can also be used to deport disks or dynamic volumes from the SCL database, to
replace a specific UID with a different UID, and to restore the mxds datastore on the
membership partitions.
NOTE:
The mx dynvolume import and mx dynvolume deport commands can also
be used to import or deport disks and dynamic volumes.
CAUTION:
HP Scalable NAS must be stopped on all nodes when mpimport is used. Database
corruption can occur if the utility is executed while HP Scalable NAS is running on
a node. mpimport fails if HP Scalable NAS is running on the current node; however,
it does not check the other nodes.
mpimport does not check for the physical presence of the disks or subdevices that
it is importing and, for example, allows the devices to be imported even if they are
not physically visible on the server. Consequently, successfully completion of the utility
does not mean that the imported disks are valid.
The options are:
mpimport <uid> [<uid> ...]
Import the set of disks corresponding to the specified UIDs.
mpimport --local <devname> [<devname> ...]
Import the set of disks corresponding to the specified local disknames.
mpimport -p <psdname> <uid>
Import the disk indicated by the UID and assign the specified psdname to it.
