3.5.1 Matrix Server Upgrade Guide

Chapter 2: Single Rolling Upgrades 12

Next, run the following command to see a list of devices.

# cat /proc/partitions

Review the output to verify that the SAN is configured as you expect.

12. Reboot the server.

13. Restore the Matrix Server configuration files that you saved in step 3.

Also restore the MxFS-Linux configuration files if that product was

originally installed. See “Back Up and Restore the Matrix

Configuration” on page 3 for more information.

NOTE: If your mxinit.conf file includes SanPulse start options, be sure

to rename the options as described under “Changes for

SanPulse Start Options” on page 4.

14. Copy the new license file to /etc/opt/polyserve/licenses/license on the

server.

15. Matrix Server includes several versions of the HBA drivers for the

supported FibreChannel host bus adapters. For each host bus adapter,

Matrix Server designates one of these versions as the default in the

/etc/opt/polyserve/fc_pcitable file. When you restored the matrix

configuration files in step 14, the new fc_pcitable file was replaced. The

version of the file now on the server specifies an older HBA driver as

the default. To update the file to specify the Matrix Server 3.5.1 default

driver for your HBA type, enter the following command:

# /opt/polyserve/lib/chhbadriver default

If your system configuration requires a different driver version (either

a version included with Matrix Server or a version from another

source), you can install that driver version in place of the Matrix

Server default version. For more information, see the article “HBA

Driver Procedures” in MatrixLink on the PolyServe Web site. Do not

start Matrix Server after installing the driver.

If you need to enable the failover feature provided with the QLogic

HBA driver, see Chapter 5 in the PolyServe Administration Guide.
