3.4.0 Matrix Server Administration Guide

Test Your Configuration

After you have configured Matrix Server, we recommend that you

perform a set of basic tests to validate that SAN shared filesystem

operation, virtual host operation and failover, DNS load-balancing

operation and failover, and failover of the LAN administrative network

work correctly.

After completing these tests successfully, you may want to run a more

substantial test of your specific requirements to validate that Matrix

Server is working in your environment. We strongly recommend that you

perform the first two sets of tests (“Test SAN Shared Filesystem

Operation” and “Test Virtual Host Operation and Failover”) to validate

the basic configuration of the matrix.

Test SAN Shared Filesystem Operation

The first step in validating the successful operation of Matrix Server is to

verify that your SAN hardware configuration, operating system

configuration, and Matrix Server software configuration correctly

support PSFS filesystems shared across the servers in your matrix.

Test SAN Connectivity and Shared Filesystem

Operation

Use the following procedure to test basic SAN connectivity and shared

filesystem operation in your matrix:

1. From the Management Console, log into one of the matrix servers.

2. Import an unused SAN disk into your matrix configuration.
