3.6.0 Matrix Server 3.6.0 Administration Guide (5697-7081, December 2007)

Chapter 5: Configure Servers 47

Servers can be deleted on the Matrix-Wide Configuration tab on the

Configure Matrix window. Select the server and then click Remove

Server.

To delete servers from the command line, use this command:

mx server delete <server> ...

Disable a Server

Select the server to be disabled from the Servers window on the PolyServe

Management Console, right-click, and select Disable. When you disable

a server, any active virtual hosts and device monitors on the server will

become inactive. Those virtual hosts and device monitors will then fail

over to a backup server, if one is available.

Solution Pack virtual hosts and device monitors on the disabled server

are affected in the same manner as virtual hosts and device monitors.

To disable servers from the command line, use this command:

mx server disable <server> ...

Enable a Server

Select the server to be enabled from the Servers window on the PolyServe

Management Console, right-click, and select Enable.

To enable servers from the command line, use this command:

mx server enable <server> ...

Change the IP Address for a Server

A server’s IP address can be changed without affecting the other servers

in the matrix. The following procedure uses this scenario: three servers,

S1, S2, and S3, with a single NIC. You want to change the IP address of

server S2.

1. Stop Matrix Server on server S2.

2. Change the IP address of server S2. We will now identify the server as

S2a.
