Implementation Changes in Matrix Server

3.6.0

The following implementation changes have been made in this release:

• Certain matrix configuration information is now stored in the new

mxds datastore on the membership partitions. The datastore is

automatically backed up on a daily basis. However, you may want to

back up the datastore manually after making configuration changes to

ensure that you always have an up-to-date backup.

• The minimum size for membership partitions has been increased to

1 GB.

• Networks can now be excluded from Matrix Server administrative

traffic.

• Matrix Server notifiers have been replaced by the new script event

notifier. If you were using notifiers in an earlier release of Matrix

Server, you can configure the script event notifier with your script and

specify the events that should trigger the notifier.

• When a mount path is assigned to a PSFS filesystem, Matrix Server

can now create the mount directory on each server that will mount the

filesystem.

•The admin login, the mxpasswd file and the mxpasswd command are

now obsolete. These features have been replaced by the new single

sign-on feature.
