Chapter 4: Matrix Administration 36
If you receive an alert telling you to reboot a server, the message will
remain in the Alerts section until either Matrix Server is restarted on the
rebooted server or the server is removed from the matrix.
To view the current Alerts from the command line, use the mx alert status
command.
Matrix Server Operations
Many Matrix Server operations can be run in the background. These
operations display a popup window allowing you to send the operation
to the background.
A progress bar is displayed at the bottom of the console while operations
are running.
Disconnect from a Matrix
To close the Management Console window for the current server, either
select File > Disconnect or click the Disconnect icon on the toolbar. You
can then use either File > Connect or the Connect icon on the toolbar to
connect to a matrix from another server.
Exit a Management Console Session
To end a Matrix Server console session, select File > Exit. The matrix will
continue to operate after you disconnect from it. You do not need to have
an open Management Console connection to a matrix.
Using the Matrix Server SNMP Service
The Matrix Server SNMP service provides tools that can be used to
retrieve all matrix-wide state and status information. The service includes
the following:
• An SNMP extension agent that is used by the Microsoft SNMP service.
• MIBs that can be loaded into the MIB browser tool provided with your
Network Management Station (NMS). The MIBs are named
mxsnmp.mib and mxtrap.mib and are located in the following directory:
%SystemDrive%\Program Files\Polyserve\MatrixServer\lib\snmp
