Description
Matrix Server runs on each server in the matrix. When a server is booted to
run-levels 3 or 5, Matrix Server is started automatically by the script
/etc/init.d/pmxs. If you need to start, stop, or restart Matrix Server on a
particular server, invoke the pmxs script with the appropriate argument.
The pmxs script calls the mxinit utility. For a start operation, mxinit starts the
Matrix Server processes in the correct order and loads the kernel modules.
For a stop operation, it stops the Matrix Server processes, unloads the kernel
modules, and performs cleanup tasks.
The status option displays the same information as the mxinit --status
command. You do not need to be user root to run the command.
PSANcfg – control port operations
Synopsis
/opt/polyserve/sbin/PSANcfg [-hu] [-[lL] <Port WWN>] [switch
...]
[-c community_string]
Description
The PSANcfg command can be used to add or remove local HBA port
information in the Matrix Server configuration, to unfence ports on
FibreChannel switches, and to set the SNMP community string on Matrix
Server.
The options are:
-l, -L
The -l command adds the specified HBA port to the list of local ports; -L
removes the specified port. The mxsanconf command invokes PSANcfg
with these options; they should not be run directly.
-u switch ...
Unfence all local ports on the specified FC switches.
-c
community_string
Set the snmp community string.
-h
Print a usage message.
