Chapter 4: Double Upgrade Procedures 31

license file can be installed during the upgrade. If the new file is not in

place when you start Matrix Server, license violations will be reported

on the Management Console and in the matrix log, and the product

will shut down after one hour and 45 minutes.

• You do not need to run mxconfig when upgrading to 3.1.2. If you

want to change any of the parameters that you originally specified

with mxconfig, first upgrade all servers to 3.1.2. After the upgrade is

complete, stop Matrix Server on each server (use /etc/init.d/pmxs

stop), and then rerun mxconfig.

• If you are using MxFS-Linux, you will need to perform an extra step to

unmount PSFS filesystems. See “Unmount Filesystems on Clusters

With MxFS-Linux” on page 50 for details.

Matrix Server 3.1.x Without MxFS-Linux

This procedure should be used only if you are running 3.1.x on a 32-bit

operating system and want to move to 3.1.2 on a 64-bit operating system.

The procedure is a double upgrade. The first upgrade installs Matrix

Server 3.1.2 on the 32-bit operating system. When all servers are running

Matrix Server 3.1.2, the second upgrade is done to take the operating

system to 64-bit mode. Matrix Server must then be reinstalled to take

advantage of 64-bit mode.

Complete the following steps to perform the upgrade.

NOTE: Upgrade the server with the highest IP address first. Then

continue to upgrade the servers in descending order of IP address,

with the lowest numbered server being upgraded last.

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

the Existing Matrix” on page 2.

2. Stop Matrix Server on the 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. After the second installation of

Matrix Server, you can merge your local changes into the new versions

of the files.
