4.1.0 HP PolyServe Software command reference guide (T5392-96071, October 2010)

NOTE:
Matrix Server must be stopped on all nodes when mpimport is used. Database
corruption can occur if the utility is executed while Matrix Server is running on a
node. mpimport fails if Matrix Server 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.
mpimport -p <psdname> --local <devname>
Import the disk indicated by the specified local diskname and assign psdname
to it.
mpimport [-s] [-M] -F [<psdname>|<psvname> ...]
Import the specified psd or psv devices. If no devices are specified, import all
disks and dynamic volumes listed in the default mpdump backup file. If -s is
specified, “strict” importing is done; only those disks and dynamic volumes that
can be imported using the psdname indicated in inputfile will be imported.
If -s is not specified, disks and dynamic volumes will be imported with alternate
names if necessary. The -M option recreates the membership partitions from
scratch based on the contents of the backup file.
mpimport [-s] [-M] -f <inputfile> [<psdname>|<psvname>...]
Import the specified psd or psv devices. If no devices are specified, import the
disks and dynamic volumes listed in inputfile. The inputfile must be in
the format generated by mpdump. If -s is specified, “strict” importing is done;
only those disks and dynamic volumes that can be imported using the psdname
indicated in inputfile will be imported. If -s is not specified, disks and dy-
namic volumes will be imported with alternate names if necessary. The -M option
