NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

     xlv_shutdown - shut down XLV volumes

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

     xlv_shutdown [ -v ] [ -n volume-list ]

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     xlv_shutdown is used to gracefully	shut down (``disassemble'') logical
     volumes after their corresponding filesystems have	been unmounted.	 It is
     called by /etc/umountfs, which is called by /etc/inittab at system
     shutdown time.  xlv_shutdown typically does not need to be	explicitly
     invoked.

     xlv_shutdown gets the XLV volumes from the	kernel and cleanly shuts them
     down.  This ensures that all the plexes in	a volume are in	sync so	that
     they do not need to be revived when restarted.  After a volume has	been
     shut down,	xlv_assemble(1M) needs be run before using the volume again.
     Note that xlv_shutdown does not shut down a root volume or	volumes	with
     mounted filesystems.

     xlv_shutdown supports the following options:

     -f		      Forcefully shut down of all volumes, even	volumes	that
		      are open.	Use this option	with caution.

     -n	volume-list   Shut down	only a comma separated list of volumes.	The
		      default behavior is to close down	all possible volumes.

     -v		      Display verbose status messages.
