3.1.2 Matrix Server RHEL4 Release Notes

PolyServe Matrix Server Release Notes 21

14027 mx fs destroy partially destroys snapshots

Do not use the mx fs destroy command to remove a snapshot. If

you attempt to delete a snapshot with the mx fs destroy

command, the snapshot filesystem will be removed but the

snapshot will remain on the array. You will then need to

manually remove the snapshot LUNs from the array. (After

removing the LUNs, you will see disk import errors on the

console for the LUNs that were removed.)

If you need to delete a snapshot, either use the mx snapshot

destroy command or locate the snapshot on the PolyServe

Management Console, right-click, and select Delete.

14136 mxmpconf command does not add membership partitions

The mxmpconf command does not work correctly when it is

used to add a membership partition.

Workaround. Use the following command to add a new

membership partition. Matrix Server cannot be running on any

nodes of the cluster when you invoke the command.

$ mprepair --add_partition PSuid/partition_number

You can use the sandiskinfo command to obtain the disk uid

and partition number. The -u option shows information for

unimported disks, and should be used when Matrix Server is

not running. The -a option lists the partition information for

each disk.

After running mprepair --add_partition, you will need to

export the new configuration to the other nodes of the cluster.

You can do this through either the mxconfig utility or the

Configure Matrix window on the Management Console.
