3.1.2 Matrix Server Upgrade Guide

Chapter 4: Double Upgrade Procedures 33

9. If desired, perform a fresh installation of the operating system or

upgrade the kernel. See Appendix A (RHEL4) or B (SLES9) for

information about the necessary steps.

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

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

polyserve.

11. 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 for the 32-bit architecture.

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

12. Install the Management Console:

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

13. Start Matrix Server on the upgraded server. Run this command:

# /etc/init.d/pmxs start

14. Repeat steps 1 through 13 on the remaining servers.

All servers in the matrix are now running Matrix Server 3.1.2 in 32-bit

mode. You will need to repeat the rolling upgrade to bring the servers

up to 64-bit mode with Matrix Server 3.1.2.

15. Back up the Matrix Server configuration again. Use tar -cv to create tar

files of the /etc/opt/polyserve and /var/opt/polyserve directories.

16. Stop Matrix Server on the server to be upgraded (start with the server

with the highest IP address):

# /etc/init.d/pmxs stop

17. If you will be doing a fresh installation of the 64-bit operating system,

skip to step 20. Otherwise, continue with the following steps.

18. Uninstall Matrix Server 3.1.2 from the server. The matrix software

must be uninstalled from a location outside of the matrix directory

structure (/opt/polyserve).

# rpm -e pmxs
