Repeat this procedure to add the remaining servers to the Address column.
Export the configuration. Click Select All to select all of the servers in the Address
column. Then click Export. The Last Operation Progress column will display status
messages as the configuration is exported to each server.
If you are using Web Management-based fencing, you may be asked for additional
information about each server. Based on the entries you made on the Fencing tab,
the information can include any or all of the following: the vendor/type for the Remote
Management Controller, the IP address/hostname of the Remote Management
Controller, the IBM Blade slot, the username and password for the Remote
Management Controller.
NOTE:
If you are using Web management-based fencing, you should now verify that the
remote management controller is configured correctly. See “Test the fencing
configuration” on page 38 for more information. Do not start Matrix Server until
you have completed the verification.
Start Matrix Server on the remaining servers. The servers to which you exported the
configuration will still be selected in the Address column. Click Start Service to start
Matrix Server on those servers. As each server is started, a status message will appear
in the Last Operation Progress column. (If you are using Web management-based
fencing, also start Matrix Server on the first server.)
When Matrix Server is running on all of the servers, you can close the Server
Configuration window.
The installation is now complete. See the HP PolyServe Matrix Server administration
guide or the PolyServe Management Console online help for information about
configuring the matrix components.
