xlv_shutdown(1M)                                              xlv_shutdown(1M)


NAME
     xlv_shutdown - shut down XLV volumes

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

DESCRIPTION
     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.
