# mxpasswd

mxpasswd> {user}{password}

To change an existing password, use the following syntax. Users can change

their own passwords. If you are root, you can change any user password

without specifying the old password.

$ mxpasswd

mxpasswd> {user} {new_password} {old_password}

mxsancheck.exe – check SAN access

Synopsis

bin\mxsancheck

Description

The mxsancheck command determines whether a server has SAN access and

is ready to mount filesystems. The command is intended to be used in scripts

and returns 0 on success and 1 on failure.

mxsanconf.exe – configure FibreChannel switches

Synopsis

bin\mxsanconf <FC-switches>

Description

If a matrix is configured to use fabric fencing, the mxsanconf command must

be successfully run on each node before PolyServe Matrix Server is started.

The command configures the list of FibreChannel switches that will be

managed by PolyServe Matrix Server and creates or updates the files

psSAN.cfg and FCswitches in the directory %SystemDrive%Program

Files\PolyServe\MatrixServer\conf.

<FC-switch> is either the name or IP address of a switch to be managed. All

switches to be configured must be specified in the same command. The node

must be unfenced when the command is run.

If the <switches> parameter is not specified, the command uses the FC

switches listed in the FCswitches file (if the file exists).

In general, this command should not be run directly.
