3.5.1 Matrix Server Installation Guide (June 2008)

Configure the Matrix from the

Command Line

This appendix describes how to use the mxconfig utility to configure the

matrix from the command line. The utility allows you to upgrade the

license file, to select a matrix password and a Network Authentication

Secret password, to select a fencing method, to specify the FibreChannel

switches connected to the nodes in the matrix, to select the LUNs or disk

partitions to be used as Matrix Server membership partitions, and to

configure snapshots.

Run mxconfig

You can run mxconfig on one server and then export the resulting

configuration to the other servers. You must be root to run this utility. (To

see help information, type mxconfig --help.)

# /opt/polyserve/bin/mxconfig

When you invoke mxconfig, the following Welcome window appears.

NOTE: If mxconfig does not display properly, increase the size of your

window and then run mxconfig again. Setting the

TERM variable

to xterm may also make the display easier to read.
