The command sequence is:
mx --matrix nodeA config license <file name>
mx --matrix nodeA config secret <alphanumeric key>
mx --matrix nodeA config protocol [Multicast|Unicast]
mx --matrix nodeA config santype fc
mx --matrix nodeA config fcswitch [--community <string>] <switch> ...
mx --matrix nodeA config fcfencing
mx --matrix nodeA config mp set <uuid1/partno> [<uuid2/partno>
<uuid3/partno>]
mx --matrix nodeA config snapshot add --method <type> [--options
<method options>]
(This command is needed only if you will be using the snapshot feature.)
mx --matrix nodeA server add nodeA
mx --matrix nodeA server start nodeA
mx --matrix nodeA config description <description>
The matrix is now configured and Matrix Server is running on nodeA.
Repeat the following commands to add the remaining nodes to the
matrix, export the configuration to the nodes, and start Matrix Server.
mx --matrix nodeA server add <nodename>
mx --matrix nodeA config export <nodename>
mx --matrix nodeA server start <nodename>
The initial configuration of the matrix is complete.
Web Management-Based Fencing
This example assumes the matrix will include four nodes: nodeA, nodeB,
nodeC, and nodeD. The commands are run from nodeA by a member of
the machine’s local Administrators group on that node.
The command sequence is:
mx --matrix nodeA config license <file name>
mx --matrix nodeA config secret <alphanumeric key>
mx --matrix nodeA config protocol [Multicast|Unicast]
mx --matrix nodeA config santype [fc|iscsi]
