3.4.0 Matrix Server Release Notes

PolyServe Matrix Server Release Notes 29

The problem does not appear when the enable/disable

commands are used in a controlled manual failback after the OS

has finished booting. A subsequent failure of the active node

will result in a correct failback without exhibiting the problem if

the target node is already up and running in a stable state and is

not in the process of booting.

9564 Creating Virtual File Server with ALL_SERVERS option can

cause confusion

When creating Virtual File Servers with the

ALL_SERVERS

command-line option, you should be aware of the following:

• When a Virtual File Server is created with the command-line

ALL_SERVERS option, any servers added to the matrix at a

later time will automatically be added to the Virtual File

Server.

• The PolyServe Management Console does not provide a way

to identify Virtual File Servers created with the

ALL_SERVERS

option.

• Servers added to a Virtual File Server with the

ALL_SERVERS

option cannot be removed from the configuration via the

Management Console. Instead, you will need to use the mx

vfs update command and specify the individual servers that

are to be included in the configuration. For example, the

following command removes node3 from a 4-node Virtual

File Server.

mx vfs update myVFS node1 node2 node4

12758 Nodes crash after rebooting

When MxFS for CIFS is installed, nodes sometimes crash

immediately after rebooting. This is a known Microsoft

Windows problem. If you are experiencing crashes after

rebooting servers, contact Microsoft and ask for the hotfix

described in Knowledge Base article 908249. Hotfixes are

available for both 32-bit and 64-bit systems.
