3.5.1 Matrix Server Release Notes

PolyServe Release Notes 13

If Matrix Server is started and the third-party MPIO software

has not previously discovered the devices, Matrix Server will

make a “best effort” to discover them. In some cases, Matrix

Server will initiate a single reboot. Matrix Server will not start if

it cannot discover the devices. The administrator must then

determine why the MPIO devices have not been discovered and

resolve the issue.

7823 Password prompt requires old password

When you change the admin password on the Management

Console and then export it to other servers in the matrix, you

will be prompted for the password on those servers. You will

need to specify the old password, not the newly assigned

password. (The old password is in effect on the servers until the

export operation is complete.)

8290 Virtual host can cause route change

When a virtual host is instantiated it uses the network mask of

the interface upon which it is activated. This can cause a

unexpected route change if the virtual host address was

intended for some other interface on another network or if the

virtual host address is mistyped.

For example, the following command adds the 10.10.1.100

address on the 10.11.1.1 interface.

mx vhost add 10.10.1.100 10.11.1.1

If the 10.11.1.1 interface had a netmask of 255.255.0.0, then the

traffic for the 10.10/16 subnet would be directly routed to the

10.11/16 network for this server rather than being routed to a

gateway on the 10.11/16 network.
