3.5.1 Matrix Server Upgrade Guide

Chapter 3: Double Rolling Upgrades 28

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.

27. Uninstall the Management Console:

# rpm -e mxconsole

28. Upgrade to the 64-bit version of SLES9 SP3 or RHEL4 Update 3. (For

RHEL4, see Appendix A for information about files that need to be

modified. For SLES9, see Appendix B.)

29. Install the kernel:

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

(use the 64-bit version) and the MxFS-Linux kernel patches RPM

and then compile the kernel. 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.

30. Reboot the server.

31. If you did a fresh installation of the operating system, extract the

backup tar files saved in step 21 to /etc/opt/polyserve and /var/opt/

polyserve.

32. Install Matrix Server 3.5.1 from the product CD or the location where

you have downloaded the software. Be sure to install the 64-bit

version of the RPM.

# rpm -i <mountpoint>/pmxs-3.5.1-<xxxx>.x86_64.rpm

33. 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.
