workloads. PolyServe advises customers to remove any custom setting of

GcTrimLevel after upgrading to Matrix Server 3.6.

Use Existing Instance Aliasing Configuration

If you used the Instance Aliasing feature with a previous release of MxDB

for SQL Server, take the following steps to allow your existing

configuration to be used with the 3.6 release.

1. On the PolyServe Management Console, select Tools > Sql Instance

Aliasing. When the Instance Aliasing dialog appears, click the

Advanced button.

2. On the “Mapping file” section of Advanced Settings dialog, specify

the location of the ia.conf file that you created before the upgrade and

click OK. When the Instance Aliasing dialog reappears, click OK

again. (See “Instance Aliasing” in the MxDB for SQL Server Installation

and Administration Guide for more information.)

The Instance Aliasing feature provided with the 3.6 release will now

manage your connection mappings.

Upgrade the PolyServe Management Console on

Clients

The stand-alone PolyServe Management Console must be upgraded to

version 3.6.0 on any client systems currently running an earlier version of

the console. The stand-alone console cannot be installed on a server

running Matrix Server 3.6. (Matrix Server includes a built-in version of

the PolyServe Management Console.)

Complete these steps:

1. Remove the old version of the console using Add/Remove Programs

on the Control Panel.

2. Install the new version of the console. Locate the file

MxConsole_3.6.0.<xxxx>.msi on the distribution CD or in your

download location. Double-click the file and then run the Installation

Wizard.
