3.6.0 Matrix Server Release Notes (5697-7087, February 2008)

PolyServe Matrix Server Release Notes 9

4301 Filesystem mounts may disappear temporarily while a node is

booting

While a node in the matrix is booting, the PolyServe

Management Console can show filesystem mounts

disappearing and then reappearing on other nodes. This is an

artifact of the matrix responding to a new node joining the

matrix and causes no harm.

5519 SNMP dies on QLogic SANbox2 FC switches

In a matrix with a QLogic SANbox2 FibreChannel switch,

SNMP can die periodically. When this occurs, servers cannot be

fenced, and servers that have already been fenced cannot

unfence themselves.

To recover, go to Admin mode on the switch and then run the

hotreset command:

admin start

admin> hotreset

The hotreset command resets the switch. (Before the switch is

reset, all running applications save their FibreChannel state.

That information is then used by the applications when the

switch comes back up.)

If the matrix does not recover on its own after the switch is reset,

you may need to reboot the affected servers or restart Matrix

Server on them.

5807 Legato NetWorker volume shadow copy not supported

Matrix Server does not currently support the manner in which

Legato NetWorker 7.1.1 uses volume shadow copies. We

recommend that you configure NetWorker so that it will not use

shadow copies. One way to do this is to choose Options > Save

Options in the NetWorker client, and then type VSS:*=off in the

options box.
