4.0.0 HP Polyserve Matrix Server Installation Guide (T5392-96046, March 2010)
Partition sizing
It is important to properly size the partitions that will be used for membership
partitions. (The minimum size is 1 GB.)
12. Log into iSCSI targets (iSCSI configurations only)
Log into each iSCSI target via the iSCSI initiator and set the iSCSI Initiator Properties.
On the Log On to Target dialog, be sure to check Automatically restore this connection
when the system reboots.
You will need to complete this step on each server.
13. Run the mxcheck utility
Before installing the matrix software, it is important to verify that the server’s
configuration meets the requirements for running Matrix Server. You can use the
mxcheck utility to do this. The utility performs the following checks on the server:
• System check: hardware, operating system version, service pack version, available
physical memory.
• Network check: IP network and interface assignments, forward and reverse
hostname lookup.
• Storage check: Host Bus Adapters, drivers, and settings
• Miscellaneous check: other checks such as the non-paged pool setting.
To run mxcheck, insert the Matrix Server CD into the CD drive or go to the directory
where you downloaded the product and then double-click the file mxcheck.exe.
Output from the utility appears on the screen and is also written to the Application
Log section of the Event Viewer. We recommend that you fix any problems identified
by mxcheck before you install Matrix Server.
14. Install HP PolyServe Matrix Server
To install Matrix Server, log on as the Administrator and complete these steps:
1. Locate the file MxS_4.0.0.<xxxx>.<arch>.msi on the Matrix Server CD
or in the directory where you downloaded the product.
