3.4.0 Matrix Server Upgrade Guide

Chapter 3: Non-Rolling Upgrades 26

26. If you will be adding third-party MPIO software to the matrix, install

it on each server in group B according to the product documentation.

27. On each server in group B, upgrade HBA drivers if necessary.

28. If necessary, reboot the servers in group B. (You will need to reboot the

servers if this step is required by an operating system upgrade or if

you installed a new HBA driver in step 26.)

29. If the servers in group B use Emulex HBAs, install the HBA API

libraries on each server. These libraries are provided with the

HBAnyware package, which is included in the HBA driver download.

30. If you upgraded the operating system on the servers in group B, run

the PolyServe mxcheck utility on the servers. This utility verifies that

the server’s configuration meets the requirements for running Matrix

Server.

To run mxcheck, insert the Matrix Server CD into the CD drive or go

to the directory where you downloaded the product and then

double-click the file mxcheck.exe.

Output from the utility appears on the screen and is also written to the

Application Log section of the Event Viewer. We recommend that you

fix any problems identified by mxcheck before you install Matrix

Server.

31. On each server in group B, install Matrix Server 3.4.0. Locate the file

MxS_3.4.0.<xxxx>.msi on the product CD or in the directory where you

downloaded the software. Double-click on the MxS_3.4.0.<xxxx>.msi

file and run the Installation Wizard. To complete the installation,

reboot the servers as directed by the popup message.

32. On each server in group B, install any PolyServe Solution Packs.

– 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.

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

drive or go to the location where you have downloaded the
