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

Chapter 5: Post-Upgrade Steps 41

Configure New Features

If you are upgrading from 3.2 or 3.4, you may want to configure the new

features provided with Matrix Server 3.6:

• Event notifiers. The event notifier services can be configured to send

an SNMP trap, send email, or run a script when specific Matrix Server

events occur. See “Configure Notifiers and View Events” in the

PolyServe Matrix Server Administration Guide.

• Matrix Server SNMP service. This service provides an SNMP

extension agent and MIBs for retrieval of all matrix-wide state and

status information.

• Role-Based Security. By default, the machine local Administrators

group has full cluster rights and can perform all Matrix Server

operations. You can use the Role-Based Security feature to create roles

that allow or deny other users and groups the ability to perform

specific cluster operations.

If you are upgrading from 3.2, you may also want to configure features

that were new in Matrix Server 3.4:

• Hardware array snapshots. Snapshots are configured on the Storage

Settings tab of the Configure Matrix window. See the section

“Configure the Matrix” in Chapter 2 on the Matrix Server Installation

Guide for details.

• Filesystem quotas. You can enable the quotas feature on existing PSFS

filesystems and set default hard and soft limits with either the

PolyServe Management Console or the psfscheck command. See the

Matrix Server Administration Guide for details.

• Sparse files. To enable sparse files on an existing PSFS filesystem, run

the following command at the Command Prompt:

psfscheck --enable-sparse <device>

The device can be specified in several ways:

– By the drive letter, such as X:

– By the mount point (junction), such as C:\san\vol2
