directory on a PSFS filesystem. If the specified path does not already

exist, the upgrade tool will create the directory and any required

subdirectories. (The path_target is a new, separate location from where

the user data is currently stored.)

NOTE: Be sure to specify a different path for each Virtual SQL Server

that is upgraded. If a path is reused, misconfiguration issues

can occur when a Virtual SQL Server accessing that path is

devirtualized.

/matrix <hostname>

The hostname of the node on which the script is being run. Any node

in the cluster can be used.

/user <username> /password <password>

The Matrix Server 3.4 user name and password needed to access the

matrix.

The following example shows an upgrade of Virtual SQL Server vsqlar1.

The tool will be run from node ar7s4. The backup node will be ar7s10 (IP

address 99.11.7.10), which is a backup for the Virtual SQL Server being

upgraded. The path for the profile created by the upgrade is

s:\upgrade\vsqlar1 on a PSFS filesystem.

cscript /nologo mssql_upgrade.js /upgrade /vsql vsqlar1

/backup 99.11.7.10 /path s:\upgrade\vsqlar1 /matrix ar7s4

/user admin /password admin

**Starting the Upgrade of vsql vsqlar1

Upgrade Complete: vsql vsqlar1

C:\Program Files\PolyServe\MatrixServer\bin

The local profile created by the upgrade will now be in place at the

specified path (s:\upgrade\vsqlar1 in our example).
