3.5.1 Matrix Server Upgrade Guide

Chapter 4: “All-at-Once” Upgrades 39

If your system configuration requires a different driver version (either

a version included with Matrix Server or a version from another

source), you can install that driver version in place of the Matrix

Server default version. For more information, see the article “HBA

Driver Procedures” in MatrixLink on the PolyServe Web site. Do not

start Matrix Server after installing the driver.

If you need to enable the failover feature provided with the QLogic

HBA driver, see Chapter 5 in the PolyServe Administration Guide.

14. If you installed an HBA driver in the previous step, run the following

command to load the driver:

# /etc/init.d/pmxs load

15. Verify that the server has access to the SAN storage. Run the following

command to see a list of devices and review the output to verify that

the SAN is configured as you expect.

# cat /proc/partitions

16. Check the mount points for the PSFS filesystems on the server, and

recreate them if necessary to match the other servers.

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

# /etc/init.d/pmxs start

18. Re-enable the server. (Select the server on the Management Console,

right-click, and select Enable.)

If the PolyServe Management Console software (versions earlier than

3.5.0) is installed on client machines, the software must be upgraded to

the 3.5.1 version. See “Upgrade the Management Console on Clients” on

page 43.
