mxcheck – verify Matrix Server requirements

Synopsis

/opt/polyserve/bin/mxcheck [-t <text-file>] [-h <html-file>]

[-l] [-i] [-r] [-p] [-q] [<sequence>]

Description

The mxcheck utility verifies that a server meets the configuration

requirements for Matrix Server. It is run automatically each time Matrix

Server is started. Output from the utility appears on the screen and is also

written to the /var/opt/polyserve/mxcheck directory. If you are experiencing

errors, check the messages in this directory.

The mxcheck utility performs checks such as the following: operating system

version and configuration; available physical memory and disk space; HBA

driver versions; FibreChannel switch versions; network addresses. The utility

also attempts to access gateways and FC switches.

The logged mxcheck results can be seen remotely with a web browser, via

https://<hostname>:9071/mxcheck/. For example:

https://sysa.yourcompany.com:9071/mxcheck/

You will need to know the username and password for a Matrix Server user

account such as admin.

The options are:

-t <text-file> and/or -h <html-file>

Place the output in a text or html file. A

- implies standard out.

-l

Log output to /var/opt/polyserve/mxcheck. (Does indexing and suppresses

the default text report.)
