3.1.2 Matrix Server Administration Guide

Chapter 2: Matrix Administration 24

Manage a Matrix from the Command Line

The mx utility allows you to manage Matrix Server from the command

line. You will need to create a .matrixrc file to use the mx commands. See

the Matrix Server Command Reference for more information about mx and

the .matrixrc file.

PSFS filesystems can also be managed with Linux shell commands.

Changes made with these commands are reflected on the Management

Console.

The Management Console

When you connect to the matrix via mxconsole, the Management Console

appears. The Management Console window has five tabs that show

different views of the matrix.

Following is the Servers view. This tab lists the entire configuration of

each server configured in the matrix, including the network interfaces on

the server, any virtual hosts associated with those interfaces, any device

monitors created on the server, and any PSFS filesystems mounted on the

server.
