3.1.2 Matrix Server Administration Guide

Chapter 3: Configure Servers 42

NOTE: For improved performance, the Management Console caches

hostname lookups. If your DNS changes, you may need to restart

the console so that it will reflect the new hostname.

To add or update a server from the command line, use this command:

mx server add|update [--serverSeverity=autorecover|

noautorecover] <server> ...

Other Server Configuration Procedures

Move a Server

If you move a server from one FibreChannel switch port to another, you

will need to enable the server’s new port on the switch before starting

Matrix Server on the server.

Delete a Server

Select the server to be deleted from the Servers window on the

Management Console, right-click, and select Delete.

To delete servers from the command line, use this command:

mx server delete <server> ...

Disable a Server

Select the server to be disabled from the Servers window on the

Management Console, right-click, and select Disable. When you disable

a server, any active virtual hosts and device monitors on the server will

become inactive. Those virtual hosts and device monitors will then fail

over to a backup server, if one is available.

Virtual NFS Services and Export Group high availability monitors on the

disabled server are affected in the same manner as virtual hosts and

device monitors.
