3.5.1 Matrix Server Release Notes

PolyServe Release Notes 12

Open Issues and Workarounds

The following open issues affect Matrix Server and MxFS-Linux

operations.

Matrix Server

Defect

Description

1615 Resized log does not display properly

When you use the Set Log Length option to set the number of

lines to appear on the Server Log window, the Management

Console does not refresh the display. You will need to close the

Server Log window and then reopen it to see the resized log.

1735 Matrix Server does not shut down applications

When Matrix Server is shut down, it terminates processes that

have open files on PSFS filesystems. To avoid this problem, we

recommend that you stop applications that are using the

filesystem before you shut down Matrix Server.

5862 mxconfig should query for HBA when PowerPath is installed

When a Matrix Server installation includes PowerPath, you need

to edit the /etc/polyserve/fc_pcitable file manually to specify the

HBA in use on the server. (This procedure is described in the

PolyServe Knowledge Base article “HBA Driver Procedures.”)

The mxconfig utility should query for the HBA version and then

edit this file automatically.

7250 Failover can take too long

When the IBM RDAC software is being used, the time required

for failover is dependent on the RDAC software. If failover times

are too long, consult the PolyServe Knowledge Base article

regarding RDAC for tuning suggestions.

7519 Third-party MPIO software must discover devices

When third-party MPIO software such as EMC PowerPath or

IBM RDAC is used, the third-party MPIO software must

discover and present storage devices to the operating system

before Matrix Server is configured or started.
