4.1.0 HP PolyServe Matrix Server administration guide (T5392-96073, October 2010)

6. Connect to the matrix. Specify any server in the matrix on the Matrix Server
Connect window. The new server now appears on the Management Console.
In the following example, server ar53 has been added.
7. Check the drive mappings. When you add a server, the operating system may
assign drive letters that do not match the assignments you have made for your
shared filesystems on the other nodes. There are several ways to correct this
situation:
• Use the mx fs unassign command to remove the incorrect drive assign-
ments and the mx fs assign command to establish the correct assignments.
• Use the PolyServe Management Console to change drive letter assignments.
Note that the change will take place on all nodes and may affect applications.
• Use Windows Disk Manager to change the assignments.
If you are using Windows 2000 Terminal Services to make the change, you will
need to log out and then log back in before you can use the reassigned drive letters.
The log out/log in step is not necessary for Windows 2003 Terminal Services or for
Windows 2000/2003 local console use.
NOTE:
For improved performance, the PolyServe Management Console caches hostname
lookups. If your DNS changes, you may need to restart the console so that it will
reflect the new hostname.
Modify server properties
To modify the properties for a server in the matrix, select that server on the Servers
window, right-click, and select Properties. Then make your changes on the Server
Properties window.
