25. Install the Management Console:

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

26. If you did a fresh installation of the operating system, recreate mount

points for the PSFS filesystem.

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

# /etc/init.d/pmxs start

28. Repeat steps 15 through 27 on the remaining servers.

All servers are now running Matrix Server 3.1.2 in 64-bit mode.

Matrix Server 3.1.x With 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.

This procedure also describes how to upgrade the Matrix File Serving

Solution Pack for Linux (MxFS-Linux) to the 3.1.2 release.

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. Disable the server to cause any active Virtual NFS Services to migrate

to another server. (Right-click on the server and select Disable).

2. Back up the Matrix Server configuration on the node being upgraded

as described under “Back Up the Existing Matrix” on page 2.

3. Stop Matrix Server on the server:

# /etc/init.d/pmxs stop
