Chapter 3: Configure Servers 52

3. Start Matrix Server on server S2a. The server joins the matrix, which

now consists of servers S1, S2, S3, and S2a. Server S2 is down and S1,

S2a, and S3 are up.

4. Delete server S2 from the matrix. This step will remove references to

the server.

5. Update virtual hosts and any other matrix entities that used server S2

to now include S2a.

Matrix Server License File

To operate properly, Matrix Server requires that a license file be installed

on each server in the matrix.

Upgrade the License File

If you have obtained a new license for your matrix but are not upgrading

Matrix Server, you can manually copy the file to

/etc/opt/polyserve/licenses/license on each server or you can install it from

the Management Console.

By default, Matrix Server reads the license file upon startup of the server

and at 15-minute intervals. To cause Matrix Server to read the new license

file immediately, use one of these options:

• On the Management Console, select the server, right-click, and then

select Refresh License.

• On the command line, enter the following:

mx server read_license <server>

Until the new license file is read on all servers, you may see alerts on the

Management Console reporting that the license file does not match on all

servers.

Supported Matrix Server Features

The license agreement for each server determines which Matrix Server

features are supported on that server. You can use the View Features

option on the Management Console to determine the supported features
