Chapter 3: Double Rolling Upgrades 31

7. Uninstall Matrix Server 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.

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.

8. Uninstall the Management Console:

# rpm -e mxconsole

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

# rpm -e pmxs-quota-tools

10. If desired, perform a fresh installation of the operating system or

upgrade the kernel.

• RHEL4 systems: Install the operating system and edit system files

as described in Appendix A. Then install the appropriate

PolyServe binary kernel. Run the following command:

# rpm -ihv <kernelname>.rpm
