  Stop a multiplex node.
• Including an Excluded Secondary Server
  Include a previously excluded secondary server when the excluded server's shutdown period is over.
• Excluding a Secondary Server
  To save disk space, exclude any secondary server that will be shut down for an extended period.
• Synchronizing a Secondary Server
  Synchronization updates a secondary server with respect to the coordinator.
• Adding a Secondary Server
  Add a secondary server to the multiplex server.
• Dropping a Secondary Server

  Generate the configuration file and scripts for starting, stopping, and synchronizing multiplex servers.
• Converting a Simplex Server to Multiplex
  Add a secondary server to a simplex to convert the simplex into a multiplex.
• Reconfiguring a Multiplex Server
  Change the name, host, port, or database file location for the selected multiplex server.
