3.5.1 Matrix Server Installation Guide (June 2008)

Appendix E: Configure the Matrix from the Command Line 86
mxconfig uses ssh as user root to copy the configuration to each server.
Depending on your ssh configuration, you may be prompted for the root
password one time on each host.
If you are using Web Management-Based fencing, you may be asked for
additional information about each server. Based on your fencing
configuration, the information can include any or all of the following: the
vendor/type for the Remote Management Controller, the IP address/
hostname of the Remote Management Controller, the IBM Blade slot, the
username and password for the Remote Management Controller.
NOTE: If you are using Web Management-Based fencing, you should
now verify that the remote management controller is configured
correctly. See “Verify the Fencing Configuration,” below, for more
information. Do not start Matrix Server until you have completed
the verification.
Verify the Fencing Configuration
The mxfence command-line utility can be used to verify that Matrix
Server has the information needed to fence a server. This utility is
intended for Web Management-Based fencing configurations where you
must specify the hostname or IP address of the Remote Management
Controller associated with the server. You can use mxfence to verify that
Matrix Server has the correct information. The server must be up when
you use the utility.
/opt/polyserve/sbin/mxfence <server hostname or IP address>
Export Configuration
Enter hostnames of the servers you wish to copy this
configuration to, separated by whitespace.
