3.1.2 Matrix Server Upgrade Guide

“All-at-Once” Upgrades

This chapter describes how to upgrade all servers at once. The matrix will

be down during the upgrade procedure.

Upgrades Without MxFS-Linux

Complete the following steps on all servers in the matrix:

1. Back up the Matrix Server configuration as described under “Back Up

the Existing Matrix” on page 2.

2. Stop Matrix Server:

# /etc/init.d/pmxs stop

3. If the following Matrix Server configuration files have been modified

at your site, save copies of the files. (For Matrix Server 3.1.0 and later,

the files are in /etc/opt/polyserve.)

/etc/polyserve/mxinit.conf

/etc/polyserve/scl.conf

/etc/polyserve/fc_pcitable

/etc/polyserve/san_snmp.conf

4. If a Matrix Server Support RPM is installed, uninstall it.

# rpm -e pmxs-<os>-support

5. If any Matrix Server patches are installed, uninstall them:

# rpm -e pmxs-patch
