Chapter 2: “All-at-Once” Upgrades 9

4. If you are upgrading from MxFS-Linux 3.1.0, uninstall the MxFS-

Linux fastpatch:

# rpm -e mxfs-fastpatch

5. Uninstall MxFS-Linux. (When you uninstall MxFS-Linux, you may see

an error message stating that a failure occurred. You can ignore this

message; the uninstall was successful.)

For upgrades from MxFS-Linux 3.1.0 or later, use these commands.

# rpm -e mxfs-sles9-support

# rpm -e mxfs

# rpm -e mxfs-patches

For upgrades from MxFS-Linux 3.0.1, use these commands:

# rpm -e mxfs-support

# rpm -e mxfs

# rpm -e mxfs-patches

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

# rpm -e pmxs-sles9-support

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

# rpm -e pmxs-patch

8. Uninstall Matrix Server. This step does not remove your existing

matrix configuration or log files. The matrix software must be

uninstalled from a location outside of the matrix directory structure

(/opt/polyserve).

Run this command on the server:

# rpm -e pmxs

The following message then appears:

Stopping PolyServe Matrix Server

This server needs to be rebooted before the product removal

can proceed.

/etc/init.d/pmxs has been moved to /etc/init.d/Pmxs to avoid

PolyServe Matrix Server from starting automatically on boot.
