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

Chapter 4: Non-Rolling Upgrades 33

13. On each server in group A, 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 servers when directed by the popup message.

14. On each server in group A, install any PolyServe Solution Packs. Insert

the appropriate CD into the CD drive or go to the location where you

have downloaded the software.

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

run the Installation Wizard.

– For MxDB for SQL Server, double click the file

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

15. On each server in group A, 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 a server in group A. Click the down arrow on the

Connect button to see the options, and then click on Configure.

17. Install the new license file. On the General Settings window, select

Change License File and install the new license.

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

may be prompted to reenter the Administrative password. You can

click Apply again if necessary to redisplay the password prompt.)

Answer No when you are asked whether you want to start the matrix.

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. Go to the Matrix Wide Configuration tab and export the updated

configuration to all other servers in group A.
