Command Reference Guide

Chapter 2: mx Commands 80

Enable one or more previously disabled servers:

mx server enable <server> ...

Display server status:

mx server status [--enabled|--disabled] [--up|--down]

[<server> ...]

Read the license file:

mx server read_license <server>

Dump the server configuration to stdout:

mx server dump

Mark a server as down:

mx server markdown <server>

This command can be used when Matrix Server is unable to fence a server

that is not communicating with the matrix (for example, because the server

has crashed). The command informs Matrix Server that the server has been

verified to be down and does not need to be fenced, as it cannot threaten

filesystem integrity. For more information, see “Server Cannot Be Fenced”

in Chapter 18 of the PolyServe Matrix Server Administration Guide.
