3.5.1 Matrix Server Upgrade Guide

Chapter 3: Double Rolling Upgrades 26

14. Edit operating system files if necessary. Check the list of files specified

in Appendix A (for RHEL4) or Appendix B (for SLES9) and update

them if they have not already been modified.

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

location where you have downloaded the software. Be sure to install

the 32-bit version of the RPM.

# rpm -i <mountpoint>/pmxs-3.5.1-<xxxx>.i586.rpm

16. When you removed the previous version of Matrix Server, the

uninstall process saved all Matrix Server configuration files that had

been modified at your site. The old files were saved with the suffix

.rpmsave.

After Matrix Server 3.5.1 is installed, the installation process runs the

mxcheck utility, which will report errors for the saved files. Review

the mxcheck report to locate the saved files and then compare them

with the new versions of the files that have been installed. You will

need to migrate your customized values from the old files to the new

files as necessary. You can then delete the .rpmsave files.

17. Install the Management Console:

# rpm -i <mountpoint>/mxconsole-3.5.1-<xxxx>.i586.rpm

18. Install the MxFS-Linux support RPM from the MxFS-Linux product

CD or the location where you have downloaded the software.

# rpm -i <mountpoint>/mxfs-sles9-support-3.5.1-<xxxx>.i586.rpm

Then install MxFS-Linux 3.5.1 from the product CD or the location

where you have downloaded the software.

# rpm -i <mountpoint>/mxfs-3.5.1-<xxxx>.i586.rpm

19. Start Matrix Server on the upgraded server. Run this command:

# /etc/init.d/pmxs start

20. Repeat this procedure on each server in the matrix.

All servers in the matrix are now running Matrix Server 3.5.1 in 32-bit

mode. Next, repeat the rolling upgrade as follows.
