Chapter 1: HP Clustered File System Commands 10

Description

The mxinit utility is started automatically as a daemon on each server

and monitors all HP Clustered File System processes running there. (You

can start another instance of mxinit to perform other tasks provided by

the utility.)

If a HP Clustered File System process dies unexpectedly on a server,

mxinit will restart it if possible. However, certain process failures may

force a restart of that particular server.

When you invoke mxinit to start HP Clustered File System, 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 Clustered

File System. 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. You can

use the /etc/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 Clustered File System processes.

-x, --stop

Gently stop the HP Clustered File System 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.
