Chapter 3: mx Commands 54
Group servers
This method allows mx to connect to any available server in the cluster
without the need to specify a server name on the command line. To use this
method, enclose the server entries in brackets, as in the following example for
the prod cluster.
# production cluster
prod {
srv1 administrator secret1
srv2 administrator secret1
srv3 administrator secret1 default
}
To connect to the cluster, include the option --matrix prod in the mx
command. mx first attempts to access srv3, the default. If that server is not
available, the command tries the other servers in the group.
If your servers mostly use the same username and password, to simplify
configuring the .matrixrc file, you can specify those values following the
cluster name. You then only need to specify the values if they are different for
a particular server.
In the following example, the values “administrator,” “secret1,” and
“default” are specified. The “default” value tells mx to first attempt to connect
to the default server, and then try the other servers in the list. If “default” is
omitted, the mx command will attempt to connect to the servers in the order
that they are specified in the list.
# production cluster
prod administrator secret1 default {
srv1
srv2
srv3 administrator secret1 default
srv4 administrator secret2
}
Encrypted passwords in the .matrixrc file
Passwords are encrypted automatically when you use the HP Clustered File
System Connect window to specify the password. You can also use the
mxgenpass.exe command to create encrypted passwords for use in the
.matrixrc file. (Using encrypted passwords is optional.) The command is in the
installation directory, which is typically %SystemDrive%\Program Files\.
