3.6.0 Matrix Server Upgrade Guide (5697-7085, February 2008)

Chapter 3: Rolling Upgrades 22

10. Upgrade HBA drivers if necessary. In particular, if you have upgraded

to Windows 2003, you will probably need to install a new HBA driver.

(For a list of supported HBA drivers, see the compatibility information

on the PolyServe Web site.)

11. If you installed a new HBA driver in step 10, reboot the server.

12. If you upgraded the operating system, run the mxcheck utility

provided with Matrix Server 3.6.0. This utility verifies that the server’s

configuration meets the requirements for running Matrix Server.

Insert the Matrix Server CD into the CD drive or go to the directory

where you downloaded the product and then double-click the file

mxcheck.exe. Output from the utility appears on the screen and is also

written to the Application Log section of the Event Viewer. We

recommend that you fix any problems identified by mxcheck before

you install Matrix Server.

13. Install Matrix Server 3.6.0. Locate the file MxS_3.6.0.<xxxx>.msi on the

product CD or in the directory where you downloaded the software.

Double-click on the MxS_3.6.0.<xxxx>.msi file and run the Installation

Wizard. To complete the installation, reboot the server as directed by

the popup message.

14. Install the PolyServe Solution Packs. Insert the appropriate CD into

the CD drive or go to the location where you have downloaded the

software.

– For MxDB for SQL Server, double click the file

MxDB_SQL_3.6.0.<xxxx>.msi and run the Installation Wizard.

– For MxFS for CIFS, double-click the file MxFS_3.6.0.<xxxx>.msi and

run the Installation Wizard.

15. Restore the Matrix Server configuration that you saved in step 3. Be

sure to copy the \conf directory back to its original location: %Program

Files%\PolyServe\MatrixServer\conf.

16. Start the PolyServe Management Console and enter the login

credentials for the server that you are upgrading. Click the down

arrow on the Connect button to see the options, and then click on

Configure.
