Chapter 2: Single Rolling Upgrades 17

17. Install MxFS-Linux from the product CD or the location where you

have downloaded the software.

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

18. Install the Management Console and mx utility provided in the Matrix

Server distribution:

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

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

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

20. If you are upgrading from 3.1.2, copy your new license file to /etc/opt/

polyserve/licenses/license on the server.

21. Start Matrix Server on the server. Run the following command:

# /etc/init.d/pmxs start

22. Repeat this procedure on the server with the next-highest IP address.

If the PolyServe Management Console software (versions earlier than

3.5.0) is installed on client machines, the software must be upgraded to

the 3.5.1 version. See “Upgrade the Management Console on Clients” on

page 20.

Upgrade Without MxFS-Linux

If your servers are currently running Matrix Server, use this procedure to

upgrade to the 3.5.1 release.

NOTE: Upgrade the server with the highest IP address first. Then

continue to upgrade the servers in descending order of IP address,

with the lowest numbered server being upgraded last.

1. Stop Matrix Server on the server:

# /etc/init.d/pmxs stop

2. Back up the Matrix Server configuration as described under “Back Up

and Restore the Matrix Configuration” on page 3.
