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

Chapter 3: Rolling Upgrades 23

17. Install the new license file. Select Tools > Configuration Utility, and

then select Change License File and install the new license.

18. Click Apply (on the bottom of the Matrix Configuration window) to

save the Matrix Server configuration.

NOTE: If the Apply fails, verify that the FC switch ports are enabled

for all of the servers. If the switch ports are enabled, check the

Windows Disk Management MMC snap-in to determine

whether the node can see the disks on the SAN. Also check the

HBA driver.

19. When asked if you want to start the Matrix Server service, answer yes.

If you are not prompted to start the service, go to the Matrix Wide

Configuration tab and start Matrix Server on the upgraded server. The

upgraded server will now rejoin the matrix.

For each remaining server in the matrix, repeat this procedure through

step 14. Next, open the PolyServe Management Console (if it is not

already open) and import the matrix configuration from a server running

Matrix Server 3.6 to the server being upgraded (the new license is

included in the imported configuration). You can then start the Matrix

Server service on the newly upgraded server.

If you are using MxDB for SQL Server, restore the Policy setting on each

Virtual SQL Server to its original value after the upgrade is complete.

After all servers in the matrix are operational, complete the appropriate

post-upgrade steps as described in Chapter 5.
