Command Reference Guide

Chapter 1: Matrix Server Commands 8

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 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 input file.

mpimport -r <psdname>|<psvname> [<psdname>|<psvname> ...]

Remove the specified disks or dynamic volumes from the existing

database.

mpimport --replace <olduid> <newuid>

Replace all occurrences of olduid with newuid throughout the membership

partition data.
