3.1.2 Matrix Server Administration Guide

Chapter 18: SAN Maintenance 236

Clear the Host Registry. This option removes all entries from the server

registry. It should be used only under the direction of PolyServe Technical

Support.

CAUTION: Before clearing the server registry, be sure to reboot or power

off any servers that were previously removed from the matrix

and no longer had access to the SAN. After the servers have

been rebooted, they can safely access the SAN. (If the servers

are not rebooted, it is possible for them to corrupt filesystems.)

When you select the option to clear the host registry, the following

warning will be displayed. Select Y to clear the registry, or No to cancel

the operation.

Create New Membership Partitions with the Setup Option

The Setup option allows you to create a new set of membership

partitions. Typically, you will have done this when you installed Matrix

Server and should not need to use this option.

NOTE: If you want to add another membership partition or to remove or

replace an existing membership partition, use the Repair option.

The Setup option asks you to select a SAN disk where you want to create

a membership partition. Information about each disk appears at the

bottom of the window. Matrix Server can operate with either one or three

membership partitions. To ensure that a membership partition is always

available, we recommend that you use three membership partitions.
