# /sbin/chkconfig --del pmxs

3. Reboot the server.

4. Use the following command to display a list of the HBA driver

versions provided with Matrix Server:

# /opt/polyserve/lib/chhbadriver list

5. Run the chhbadriver command again with the appropriate driver

version.

6. Enable the Matrix Server startup script. Type this command:

# /sbin/chkconfig --add pmxs

# /etc/init.d/pmxs start

Install a Driver Not Provided with Matrix Server

If your system configuration requires that you use an HBA driver version

not provided with Matrix Server, you can install that driver version on

the system. The new driver will then override the corresponding driver

included with Matrix Server. (Matrix Server must be installed on your

system before you install the HBA driver.)

In general, you will need to do the following:

• Download the driver version from your source vendor.

• Build the driver and install it on your system.

• Modify the Matrix Server fc_pcitable file to point to the location of the

driver.

Following is the complete procedure for modifying the fc_pcitable file,

which is located in the /etc/opt/polyserve directory.
