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

and run the Installation Wizard.

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

credentials for a server in group A, but type admin for both the user

and the password. Click the down arrow on the Connect button to see

the options, and then click on Configure. (The upgrade does not retain

your Administrator password; you will need to set it again in step 16.)

16. Install the new license file. On the General Settings window, select

Change License File and install the new license. Next, set the

Administrator password if you are using a value other than the

default.

17. Click Apply on the bottom of the Matrix Configuration window. (You

may be prompted to reenter the Administrative password. You can

click Apply again if necessary to redisplay the password prompt.)

Answer No when you are asked whether you want to start the matrix.

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.

18. Go to the Matrix Wide Configuration tab and export the updated

configuration to all other servers in group A. (You may be asked for

the password on each server. Enter admin, which is the default

password.)

NOTE: If the export 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.

19. On the Matrix Wide Configuration tab, stop Matrix Server on each

server in group B. Also disable the MatrixServer service on the

Microsoft Management Console Services snap-in.
