13. Install the PolyServe Solution Packs.

– For MxDB for SQL Server, insert the Solution Pack CD into the CD

drive or go to the location where you have downloaded the

software. Then double click the file MxDB_SQL_3.4.x.<xxxx>.msi

and run the Installation Wizard.

– For MxFS for CIFS, insert the Solution Pack CD into the CD drive

or go to the location where you have downloaded the software.

Then double-click the file MxFS_3.4.0.<xxxx>.msi and run the

Installation Wizard.

14. Open the Matrix Server Connect window and enter the login

credentials for the server that you are upgrading. Click the down

arrow on the Connect button to see the options, and then click on

Configure.

15. Install the new license file. Go to the General Settings tab, and then

select Change License File and install the new license.

16. Click Apply (on the bottom of the Matrix Configuration window) to

save the Matrix Server configuration.

NOTE: If the Apply fails, verify that the FC switch ports are enabled

for all of the servers. If the switch ports are enabled, check the

Windows Disk Management MMC snap-in to determine

whether the node can see the disks on the SAN. Also check the

HBA driver.

17. When asked if you want to start the Matrix Server service, answer yes.

If you are not prompted to start the service, go to the Matrix Wide

Configuration tab and start Matrix Server on the upgraded server.

The upgraded server will now rejoin the matrix. Repeat this procedure on

each remaining server in the matrix.

After all servers in the matrix are operational, you can configure the new

Matrix Server features if desired. See “Configure Matrix Server 3.4

Features” on page 12.
