3.7.0 HP StorageWorks HP Scalable NAS File Serving Software command reference guide HP Scalable NAS for Linux (AG513-96003, October 2009)

When you invoke mxinit to start HP Scalable NAS, by default it continues running
and monitors processes. If you do not want mxinit to monitor processes, invoke it
with the -M (or --no-monitor) option. It will then exit after it completes the options
you specified.
Typically, you should use the pmxs script 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.
mxinit performs its actions according to a set of default values. Use the /etc/
opt/hpcfs/mxinit.conf configuration file to override the default values. The
file describes the available options and the required format. We recommend that
you change this file only at the request of HP personnel.
The mxinit options are:
-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, 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 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.
-f file, --alt-config-file file
Use the specified configuration file instead of the default configuration file, which
is /etc/opt/hpcfs/mxinit.conf.
-v, --verbose
Print verbose output about each step of the mxinit operation.
--version
Display the version of HP Scalable NAS.
-m, --monitor
