4.1.0 HP Polyserve Matrix Server Upgrade Guide (T5392-96067, October 2010)

32. Run the mxcheck utility on the servers. This utility verifies that the server’s
configuration meets the requirements for running Matrix Server. 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.
33. On each server in group B, install any additional software. Insert the appropriate
CD into the CD drive or go to the location where you have downloaded the
software.
• For HP PolyServe Software for Microsoft SQL Server, right-click the file
MxDB_SQL_4.1.0.<xxxx>.msi and select Run as Administrator to start
the Installation Wizard.
• For HP PolyServe Software for Windows File Serving, right-click the file
MxFS_4.1.0.<xxxx>.msi and select Run as Administrator to start the
Installation Wizard.
34. Start the PolyServe Management Console (if you are not already connected)
and connect to one of the servers in group A (a server that has already been
upgraded). Verify that all of the servers in group B have rebooted and then
export the configuration from the group A server to the servers in group B.
NOTE:
If an export fails, verify that the FC switch ports are enabled for all of the
servers.
35. On the Matrix Wide Configuration tab, start Matrix Server on the servers in
group B.
IMPORTANT:
Be sure to review the drive letter and mount point assignments on each
server and restore any missing or incorrect assignments.
36. If you are using HP PolyServe Software for Microsoft SQL Server, install the SQL
instance on the newly upgraded server. On the PolyServe Management Console,
select Tools > Install SQL. Select only the newly upgraded node for installation.
(For more information about installing SQL instances, see the HP PolyServe
Software for Microsoft SQL Server administration guide.)
