The following message then appears:

Stopping PolyServe Matrix Server

This server needs to be rebooted before Matrix Server can be

removed.

After the server has been rebooted, execute the 'rpm -e' command.

Configuring Matrix Server not to start on boot: ..done

'/etc/init.d/pmxs autostart off' has been called to prevent Matrix

Server from starting automatically on boot.

Reboot the server and run the rpm -e command again. Matrix Server

will now be uninstalled.

NOTE: When the uninstall is complete, you will see a message listing

files and directories that could not be removed. Do not

manually remove any of these files.

10. Uninstall the Management Console:

# rpm -e mxconsole

11. If the quotas RPM is installed, uninstall it:

# rpm -e pmxs-quota-tools

12. If the server is not running a supported operating system, upgrade or

do a new install of either 32-bit mode SLES9 SP3 or 32-bit mode

RHEL4 Update 3 or 4. (For RHEL4, see Appendix A. For SLES9, see

Appendix B.)

13. Install the kernel:

• For SLES9 systems, install the Matrix Server 3.5.1 Support RPM

(use the 32-bit version) and the MxFS-Linux kernel patches RPM

and then compile the kernel and reboot. See Appendix B for more

information.

• For RHEL4 systems, install the appropriate PolyServe binary

kernel. Run the following command:

# rpm -ihv <kernelname>.rpm

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.
