Launching a KVM session

To launch a KVM session from the DSR Explorer:

1.From the DSR Explorer, select Target Devices in the side navigation bar. A list of available devices will appear.

2.Click the KVM session link to the right of the target device that you wish to access. The Video Viewer will launch. For more information on the Video Viewer, see Chapter 5.

If the target device is currently in use, users attempting access will be given an opportunity to force a connection to the device if their preemption level is equal to or higher than the current user’s.

Users may also launch KVM sessions from the Unit Overview window.

To delete offline IQ modules:

1.If you wish to only list servers that are available and powered, click Appliance - Appliance Settings - Ports - IQ modules to activate the Appliance IQ modules window.

2.Click the Delete Offline button.

To disconnect an active KVM session (Administrator only):

1.Click Appliance - Appliance Settings - Sessions - Active to display a list of active KVM sessions.

2.Select the checkbox to the left of the session you wish to disconnect and click the Disconnect button.

DSR web server device management

While not as powerful as the DSView 3 software, the DSR web server provides several configuration options to tailor the DSR switch to your specific application.

Upgrading DSRIQ modules

The DSRIQ Flash upgrade feature allows you to update DSRIQ modules with the latest firmware available. This update can be performed using the DSR web server, DSView 3 software or the OSCAR interface.

After the Flash memory is reprogrammed with the upgrade, the DSR switch performs a soft reset, which terminates all DSRIQ module sessions. A target device experiencing a DSRIQ module firmware update may not display, or may display as disconnected. The target device will appear normally when the Flash update is completed.

NOTE: Check www.avocent.com for firmware upgrade files.

NOTE: DSRIQ modules are automatically updated when the DSR switch is updated. To update your DSR switch firmware, see Appendix A or the DSView 3 online help.

DSRIQ modules may also be force upgraded should the need arise.
