3.1.2 Matrix Server Upgrade Guide

Chapter 2: “All-at-Once” Upgrades 10

Reboot the server and run the rpm -e command again. Matrix Server

will now be uninstalled.

NOTE: When the uninstall is complete, you will see a message listing

files and directories that could not be removed. Do not

manually remove any of these files.

9. Uninstall the Management Console:

# rpm -e mxconsole

10. If necessary, upgrade to SLES9 SP2 or do a fresh installation of the

operating system. See Appendix B for information about files that

need to be modified.

11. Install the Matrix Server Support RPM and the mxfs-patches RPM and

install the kernel. Be sure to verify that the kernel is patched correctly

for MxFS-Linux. See Appendix B for more information.

12. If you did a fresh installation of the operating system, extract the

backup tar files saved in step 1 to /etc/polyserve and /var/polyserve (or

/etc/opt/polyserve and /var/opt/polyserve if upgrading from Matrix Server

3.1.0).

13. Reboot all servers.

14. Install Matrix Server 3.1.2 from the Matrix Server product CD or the

location where you have downloaded the software. Be sure to install

the RPM that corresponds to your architecture (i586 for 32-bit or

x86_64 for 64-bit).

# rpm -i <mountpoint>/pmxs-3.1.2-<xxxx>.<arch>.rpm

15. If you saved any Matrix Server configuration files in step 3, compare

the saved files with the new versions of the files that were installed

with Matrix Server 3.1. (The new versions were installed in the

directory /etc/opt/polyserve.) You will need to migrate your customized

values from the old files to the new files as necessary.

16. Install the Management Console:

# rpm -i <mountpoint>/mxconsole-3.1.2-<xxxx>.i586.rpm
