mpadmin Syntax

The mpadmin command has six optional arguments, as follows:

# mpadmin [-c command] [-f filename] [-h] [-q] [-s cluster_name] [-V]

When you invoke mpadmin with the -c, -f, -h, or -V option, mpadmin performs the requested operation and then returns to the shell level. For command arguments, you can specify most of the subcommands that are available within the mpadmin interactive environment. See "Command-Line Options" for descriptions of the mpadmin command-line options.

When you invoke mpadmin with the -q or -s option or no option, mpadmin goes into the interactive mode, displaying the mpadmin prompt. In this mode, you can execute any number of mpadmin subcommands until you quit the interactive session. See "mpadmin Command Overview" for a description of the interactive mpadmin mode.

For the rest of this discussion, mpadmin subcommands will be referred to as mpadmin commands or simply as commands.
