3.5.1 Matrix Server Administration Guide

Chapter 2: Matrix Administration 26

Set Default. If you set a server as the default, Matrix Server will first

attempt to use that server to connect to the matrix. If the server is not

available, Matrix Server will start at the top of the list of servers and

attempt to connect to them in turn until it reaches an available server. If

you have several matrices in the Bookmarks list, you can set one of them

to be the default for connections when the Management Console is

started.

• Move Up/Move Down. Use these buttons to reorder the list in the

Bookmarks window. This option is especially useful for changing the

connection order for the servers in a matrix.

NOTE: If you are using a wildcard to match the servers in the matrix,

the wildcard entry should appear after any server entries. You

can use the move buttons to reorder the entries as necessary.

(For information about wildcards, see the description of the

.matrixrc file in the PolyServe Command Reference.)

• Reset. This option is useful if you have checked the “Remember this

password” box on the Authentication Parameters dialog. If the user

name/password information has changed, clicking Reset allows you to

clear the saved user name and password. When you enter the new

password information on the Authentication Parameters dialog, click

the “Remember this password” checkbox to update the .matrixrc file

with the new information.

NOTE: The password information is automatically removed if you get a

password failure when connecting to the matrix.

The “Synchronize Server Bookmarks Automatically” feature

automatically adds (or removes) bookmark entries when you connect to a

server that has been bookmarked. The resulting list of bookmarks

matches the list of servers in the matrix to which the connected server

belongs. You can then select the matrix, or any server in the matrix, for

the connection. If the connection attempt fails, Matrix Server will try to

make the connection via another bookmarked server in that matrix.
