3.5.1 Matrix Server Upgrade Guide

Chapter 3: Double Rolling Upgrades 33

18. Back up the Matrix Server configuration again. Use tar -cv to create tar

files of the /etc/opt/polyserve and /var/opt/polyserve directories.

19. Stop Matrix Server on the server to be upgraded (start with the server

with the highest IP address):

# /etc/init.d/pmxs stop

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

skip to step 23. Otherwise, continue with the following steps.

21. Uninstall Matrix Server 3.5.1 from the server. The matrix software

must be uninstalled from a location outside of the matrix directory

structure (/opt/polyserve).

# 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.

22. Uninstall the Management Console:

# rpm -e mxconsole

23. Upgrade the operating system to 64-bit mode or do a fresh

installation. See Appendix A (RHEL4) or B (SLES9) for information

about files that need to be modified.
