Chapter 3: Install PolyServe Matrix Server 37

2. 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 37 for more information. Do not start Matrix Server until

you have completed the verification.

3. 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 PolyServe Matrix Server

Administration Guide or the PolyServe Management Console online help

for information about configuring the matrix components.

Test the Fencing Configuration

The Test Fencing button on the Matrix Wide Configuration tab can be

used to verify that the fencing configuration is correct for each server.

This feature is particularly useful for Web management-based fencing.

On the Matrix Wide Configuration tab, select one or more servers to test

and click the Test Fencing button.
