Chapter 3: mx Commands 52
•The first field, machine, is either the name or IP address of the server.
• The second field, user, is optional. It is the name of a user on that server or
the name of a user on a domain to which the server belongs (for example,
mydomain\john).
• The third field is also optional and contains the HP Clustered File System
password for that user. The password is encrypted automatically when you
use the HP Clustered File System Connect window to specify the
password. A utility is also available to encrypt the password. (See
“Encrypted passwords in the .matrixrc file” on page 54.)
•The fourth field, default, specifies that this server will be connected to by
default if a server name is not specified on the command line. Specifying a
default server is optional in HP Clustered File System 3.2.x and later
releases.
Blank lines and lines beginning with a # character are ignored.
Notes regarding the .matrixrc file
When working with the .matrixrc file, you should be aware of the following:
• When editing the .matrixrc file by hand, you need to put quotation marks
around user names or passwords that contain spaces. If there are
backslashes or quotation marks inside the quotation marks, they must be
escaped with the backslash character. For example, if the password is
fr”12 \ad, enter it as “fr\”12 \\ad”. When saving a bookmark on the HP
Clustered File System Connect dialog, the escape characters are added
automatically as necessary.
• Comments can be lost when the .matrixrc file is edited via the HP
Clustered File System Connect dialog.
• In HP Clustered File System releases earlier than 3.x, the mx command
cannot interpret encrypted passwords. If you are using mx and connect to
a cluster running one of these versions of HP Clustered File System, you
will be asked whether you want HP Clustered File System to create a
temporary .matrixrc file that contains clear passwords. The temporary file
will be deleted when the mx command is complete.
