3.5.1 Matrix Server Upgrade Guide

Chapter 2: Single Rolling Upgrades 11

Ensure that the new kernel is set as the default in the /boot/grub/

menu.lst file. If you need to build a custom kernel, see Appendix C

for more information.

• SLES9 systems: Follow the steps in Appendix B to install the

operating system and kernel. If you will be using MxFS-Linux, you

will need to compile a kernel from source.

5. Install Matrix Server 3.5.1 from the Matrix Server product CD or the

location where you have downloaded the software.

# rpm -i <mountpoint>/pmxs-3.5.1-<xxxx>.<arch>.rpm

6. Run the mxcheck utility, which verifies that the server’s configuration

meets the requirements for running Matrix Server. Issue the following

command:

# /opt/polyserve/bin/mxcheck -l -p -t - install

Output from the utility appears on the screen and is also written to the

/var/opt/polyserve/mxcheck directory. We recommend that you fix any

problems identified by mxcheck before you continue the upgrade.

7. If you will be using MxFS-Linux, install the MxFS-Linux support RPM

from the product CD or the location where you have downloaded the

software.

# rpm -i <mountpoint>/mxfs-<os>-support-3.5.1-<xxxx>.<arch>.rpm

8. If you will be using MxFS-Linux, install the product RPM from the CD

or the location where you have downloaded the software.

# rpm -i <mountpoint>/mxfs-3.5.1-<xxxx>.<arch>.rpm

9. Install the Management Console and mx utility:

# rpm -i <mountpoint>/mxconsole-3.5.1-<xxxx>.<arch>.rpm

10. Install the quota tools RPM. (This RPM is optional).

# rpm -i <mountpoint>/pmxs-quota-tools-3.13-<xxxx>.<arch>.rpm

11. Verify that the server has access to the SAN storage. If an HBA driver

has not already been loaded, run the following command to load the

driver:

# /etc/init.d/pmxs load
