3.5.1 Matrix Server Upgrade Guide

Chapter 3: Double Rolling Upgrades 32

Ensure that the new kernel is set as the default in /boot/grub/

menu.lst file. If you need to build a custom kernel, see Appendix C

for more information.

• SLES9 systems: Follow the steps in Appendix B to install the

operating system and kernel.

11. Reboot the server.

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

backup tar files saved in step 1 to /etc/opt/polyserve and /var/opt/

polyserve.

13. 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 RPM for the 32-bit architecture.

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

14. 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.

15. Install the Management Console:

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

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

# /etc/init.d/pmxs start

17. Repeat steps 1 through 16 on the remaining servers.

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

mode. You will need to repeat the rolling upgrade to bring the servers

up to 64-bit mode with Matrix Server 3.5.1.
