3.6.0 Matrix Server Command Reference (5697-7083, December 2007)

Chapter 3: mx Commands 65

This command can be used only when the matrix is offline. The options are as

follows. You will need to specify how Matrix Server should identify the

Remote Management Controller associated with each server. Use the

appropriate option for your site (--hostname, --hostsuffix, or --ipdelta).

[--bladeslot <slot>]

For IBM Blade Center only, the blade slot.

--hostname <host name>

The hostname for the Remote Management Controller associated with this

server. You will need to use this method if your Remote Management

Controllers are from different vendors. This method must also be used for

IBM BladeCenter servers.

--hostsuffix <host suffix>

The common suffix to append to each server name to determine the

associated Remote Management Controller name. For example, if your server

names are server1 and server2 and their Remote Management Controllers are

server1-iLO and server2-iLO, enter -iLO as the suffix.

--ipdelta <ip delta>

The delta to add to each server’s IP address to determine the IP addresses of

the associated Remote Management Controllers. For example, if your servers

are 1.255.200.12 and 1.255.200.15 and their Remote Management Controllers

are 1.255.201.112 and 1.255.201.115, enter 0.0.1.100 as the delta.

--mixedvendor yes|no

Whether the vendor and type settings apply to all servers.

[--rpassword <password>]

The password for the Remote Management Controller.

--ruser <user name>

The user name for the Remote Management Controller.

[--sharedlogin yes|no]

Whether the login is shared by all servers.

--type reset|shutdown

When a server needs to be restricted from the SAN, Matrix Server can either

power-cycle the server or shut it down. Select the method that you want to

use (either reset or shutdown).
