3.5.1 Matrix Server Installation Guide (June 2008)

Appendix E: Configure the Matrix from the Command Line 87
When you run mxfence, Matrix Server uses the specified hostname or IP
address to access the Remote Management Controller. The server is then
either power-cycled or shut down in accordance with the method you
selected when you configured the fencing module.
If the correct server is not fenced, the hostname or IP address specified for
the Remote Management Controller is probably incorrect. Run mxconfig
on the server with the incorrect information and then modify the
information as necessary.
Complete the Installation
Start Matrix Server on One Server
Start Matrix Server on one server that will be in the matrix. Do not start
Matrix Server on the other servers.
# /etc/init.d/pmxs start
This script calls the mxinit utility, which starts the Matrix Server matrix
processes in the correct order and loads the kernel modules.
Start the Management Console
Start the Management Console on the server on which you started Matrix
Server. First start the windowing environment and then type the
following command.
$ mxconsole
On the Matrix Server Connect window that appears next, type the IP
address or host name of the server in the “Connect to” field. Then click on
the down-arrow on the Connect button. You will see two options:
Connect and Configure. Click on Connect.
