Configure the Matrix from the
Command Line
This appendix describes how to use the mxconfig utility to configure the
matrix from the command line. The utility allows you to upgrade the
license file, to select a matrix password and a Network Authentication
Secret password, to select a fencing method, to specify the FibreChannel
switches connected to the nodes in the matrix, and to select the LUNs or
disk partitions to be used as Matrix Server membership partitions.
Run mxconfig
You can run mxconfig on one server and then export the resulting
configuration to the other servers. You must be root to run this utility. (To
see help information, type mxconfig --help.)
# /opt/polyserve/bin/mxconfig
When you invoke mxconfig, the following Welcome window appears.
NOTE: If mxconfig does not display properly, increase the size of your
window and then run mxconfig again. Setting the
TERM variable
to xterm may also make the display easier to read.
