3.5.1 Matrix Server Upgrade Guide

Chapter 3: Double Rolling Upgrades 27

21. Disable the server to be upgraded (start with the server with the

highest IP address). Right-click on the server and select Disable.

22. Back up the Matrix Server configuration again on the server being

upgraded. Use tar -cv to create tar files of the /etc/opt/polyserve and

/var/opt/polyserve directories.

23. Stop Matrix Server on the server:

# /etc/init.d/pmxs stop

24. If you will be doing a fresh installation of the 64-bit operating system,

skip to step 27. Otherwise, continue with the following steps.

25. Uninstall MxFS-Linux 3.5.1 from the server. Run the following

commands:

# rpm -e mxfs

# rpm -e mxfs-sles9-support

# rpm -e mxfs-patches

26. Uninstall Matrix Server 3.5.1 from the server. This step does not

remove your existing matrix configuration or log files. The matrix

software must be uninstalled from a location outside of the matrix

directory structure (/opt/polyserve).

Run this command on the server:

# rpm -e pmxs

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.
