3.5.1 Matrix Server Upgrade Guide

Chapter 4: “All-at-Once” Upgrades 42

• SLES9 systems: If necessary, upgrade to a supported SLES9 release

and the appropriate kernel. If you will be running MxFS-Linux,

you will need to compile the kernel from source. See Appendix B

for more information.

11. If you updated the operating system or kernel, reboot the server.

12. 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 that corresponds to your architecture (i586 for 32-bit or

x86_64 for 64-bit).

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

13. 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.

NOTE: If your mxinit.conf file includes SanPulse start options, be sure

to rename the options as described under “Changes for

SanPulse Start Options” on page 4.

14. Install the Management Console:

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

15. If you will be using MxFS-Linux, complete these steps:

a. Install the MxFS-Linux support RPM from the product CD or the

location where you have downloaded the software. Be sure to

install the RPM that corresponds to your architecture (i586 for 32-

bit or x86_64 for 64-bit).

# rpm -i <mountpoint>/mxfs--sles9-support-3.5.1-<xxxx>.<arch>.rpm
