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

PolyServe Matrix Server Release Notes 10

5838 Reinstalling Matrix Server with an evaluation license requires

new configuration

A Matrix Server configuration created with an evaluation

license cannot be used if Matrix Server is reinstalled with an

evaluation license. When uninstalling Matrix Server, do not

check the “Keep the existing Matrix Server configuration”

option. This option prohibits the use of the evaluation license

provided with the Matrix Server distribution.

5897 Built-in NT backup software fails on PSFS volumes when

volume shadow copy is enabled

Volume shadow copy is enabled by default in the built-in NT

backup software provided with Windows 2003. The PSFS

filesystem does not support volume shadow copies. If you want

to use the NT backup software on a PSFS volume, you will need

to disable volume shadow copy as described in the NT backup

documentation.

6364 Server’s IP address may change if assigned with DHCP

When DHCP or DHCP reservations are used to assign IP

addresses to servers, the IP address can change when the server

is rebooted. The DHCP server may be slow to respond to the

reboot, resulting in the server temporarily using a random

automatic IP address until the DHCP address is acquired. While

the server has the temporary address it will not be able to rejoin

the matrix, as Matrix Server expects the server to have the

DHCP address.

During this process, the matrix configuration might be

destroyed on the rebooted server; however, the configuration

can be restored by importing it from another node in the matrix

(or by exporting the configuration from a good node to the

rebooted server).

To avoid this problem, use static IP addresses for the servers

that will be in the matrix.
