3.5.1 Matrix Server Administration Guide

Chapter 3: Configure Servers 50

There are two settings for Server Severity:

AUTORECOVER. This is the default behavior. Virtual hosts

automatically fail back to network interfaces on the original server after it

is restored to normal operation.

NOAUTORECOVER. After the server recovers, it is not made available

to host virtual hosts. Instead, Matrix Server disables the server. (You will

need to re-enable the server with the Management Console or mx utility).

The NOAUTORECOVER setting can be useful when integrating Matrix

Server with custom applications, where additional actions may be

necessary after server recovery and before the server is made available to

host services provided by virtual hosts.

After adding a new server, it appears on the Servers window. In the

following example, two servers have been added to a matrix.

NOTE: For improved performance, the Management Console caches

hostname lookups. If your DNS changes, you may need to restart

the console so that it will reflect the new hostname.

To add or update a server from the command line, use this command:

mx server add|update [--serverSeverity autorecover|

noautorecover] <server> ...

Other Server Configuration Procedures

Move a Server

If you move a server from one FibreChannel switch port to another, you

will need to enable the server’s new port on the switch before starting

Matrix Server on the server.
