3.4.0 Matrix Server Installation Guide

Chapter 2: Install PolyServe Matrix Server 34

The installation is now complete. See the PolyServe Matrix Server

Administration Guide or the PolyServe Management Console online help

for information about configuring the matrix components.

Test the Fencing Configuration

The Test Fencing button on the Matrix Wide Configuration tab can be

used to verify that the fencing configuration is correct for each server.

This feature is particularly useful for Web management-based fencing.

On the Matrix Wide Configuration tab, select one or more servers to test

and click the Test Fencing button.

Matrix Server then fences the servers in accordance with the method you

specified on the SAN & Fencing tab. If the correct server is not fenced,

you will need to check the configuration. For example, if you specified a

pattern for the Remote Management Controller, the server may not be

configured to use that pattern.

If an incorrect hostname or IP address was specified for the Remote

Management Controller associated with the server, export the matrix

configuration to that server again and then supply the correct

information.

Install the Stand-Alone Management

Console

For convenience, the matrix can be managed from a separate

administrative station rather than from a server in the matrix. To allow

you to do this, the Management Console and mx utility are provided in a

separate package (MxConsole_3.4.0.<xxxx>.msi) that can be installed on

PCs outside the matrix.

System Requirements

Systems must meet these requirements:

• Pentium-compatible processor or later

• 64 MB memory

• Windows 2000, Windows XP, or Windows 2003
