Chapter 2: mx Commands 54

Destroy a dynamic volume:

mx dynvolume destroy <volumeName>

A filesystem cannot be mounted on the volume to be destroyed.

Convert a basic device to a dynamic volume:

mx dynvolume convert <filesystem>

Dump dynamic volume configuration to stdout:

mx dynvolume dump

mx exportgroup – Export Group commands

These commands are used to manage Export Groups.

Add an Export Group:

mx exportgroup add [--exports <exports_file>] [other-arguments]

[--vnfs <vnfs1>,<vnfs2>,...] <exportgroup_name>

The --exports option specifies a file containing export records that will be

imported into the Export Group. The --vnfs option specifies Virtual NFS

Services that should be associated with this Export Group.

The other arguments are:

[--timeout <seconds>]

The maximum amount of time to wait for the monitor probe to complete.

The default is 15 seconds.

[--frequency <seconds>]

The interval at which the high-availability monitor probes the NFS

service. The default is 30 seconds.

[--probeSeverity nofailover|autorecover|noautorecover]

The failover behavior for the high-availability monitor. nofailover

prevents failover of Virtual NFS Services when the probe fails.

autorecover fails over the Virtual NFS Services, and when the NFS service

is restored on the original node, fails the Virtual NFS Services back to the

original network interfaces. noautorecover fails over the Virtual NFS

Services but does not fail them back after the NFS service restored. The

default is autorecover.
