• Remove the server entries from the .matrixrc file. Then specify one of

the servers on the Matrix Server Connect window. When the

Authentication Parameters dialog appears, check “Add to

Bookmarks.”

Including passwords in the .matrixrc file is now optional. You can remove

the passwords from your file if desired, or select the bookmark entry on

the Connect window and click Reset.

For more information about the .matrixrc file, see the PolyServe Matrix

Server Command Reference.

Disconnect from a Matrix

To close the Management Console window for the current server, either

select File > Disconnect or click the Disconnect icon on the toolbar. You

can then use either File > Connect or the Connect icon on the toolbar to

connect to a matrix from another server.

Exit a Management Console Session

To end a Matrix Server console session, select File > Exit. The matrix will

continue to operate after you disconnect from it. You do not need to have

an open Management Console connection to a matrix.

Manage a Matrix from the Command Line

The mx utility allows you to manage Matrix Server from the command

line. See the PolyServe Matrix Server Command Reference for more

information.

The PolyServe Management Console

When you connect to the matrix, the Management Console appears. The

Management Console window has five tabs that show different views of

the matrix. Following is the Servers tab. This tab lists the entire

configuration of each server configured in the matrix, including the

network interfaces on the server, any virtual hosts associated with those

interfaces, any device monitors created on the server, and any PSFS

filesystems mounted on the server.
