Change a Host Bus Adapter or Driver

Matrix Server and the psd driver must be disabled when you add,

remove, or update a Host Bus Adapter or its driver. The following

procedure describes how to change a Host Bus Adapter or driver on a

matrix server. All commands are run from the Command Prompt.

1. Stop Matrix Server:

net stop matrixserver

2. Disable the Matrix Server service:

mxservice -uninstall

3. Remove the psd driver from the driver stack:

psdcoinst -uninstall

4. Reboot the server. The server will come up without Matrix Server and

the psd driver.

5. Make the necessary change to the HBA or driver. Reboot the system if

the HBA installation prompts you to do so.

6. (Optional.) Verify that the new HBA is supported:

mxcheck

7. Update the registry:

regedit /s psd.reg

8. Enable Matrix Server and the psd driver:

mxservice -install

psdcoinst -install

9. Reboot the server to return the psd driver to the driver stack.

10. When the system is rebooted, Matrix Server will still be disabled in the

Windows Services Control Panel. Re-enable it for Automatic startup if

desired.

11. Start Matrix Server (or wait until the next reboot).

net start matrixserver
