26.Os
27.Sh NAME
28.Nm pnfsdskill
29.Nd
30disables a pNFS data storage server (DS)
31.Sh SYNOPSIS
32.Nm
33.Op Fl f
34.Ar mounted-on-DS-dir
35.Sh DESCRIPTION
36The
37.Nm
38command disables one DS when mirroring is enabled.
39If one mirrored DS is malfunctioning, a system administrator
40may use this command on the metadata server (MDS) to disable use of this mirror.
41This command must be used on the MDS and the
42.Ar mounted-on-DS-dir
43must be the exact pathname used when mounting the DS on the MDS.
44Normally this command will fail if there is no valid mirror for the DS
45available.
46.Pp
47The following option is available:
48.Bl -tag -width Ds
49.It Fl f
50This option forces the DS to be disabled even if there is no valid mirror
51for the DS available.
52It should only be used to allow the
53.Xr nfsd 8
54threads to be terminated.
55.El
56.Pp
57If this command fails with
58.Dq Device not configured
59(ENXIO), it probably
60means that the DS has already been disabled due to an error either detected
61by the MDS or reported to the MDS by a client.
62.Pp
63The pNFS service should continue to run normally so long as the number of
64operational DSs is at least as many as the level of mirroring.
