CHAPTER

8Adding and Deleting Units

This chapter describes how to add and delete units in the DSView 3 software.

You may add:

• A single managed appliance

• A single embedded appliance

• Multiple managed appliances based on a range of IP addresses

• A generic appliance or an EVR1500 environmental monitor

• A single target device that is not attached to a managed appliance

When a managed appliance is added, DSView 3 software administrator, user administrator and

appliance administrator privileges are automatically assigned to the managed appliance. A user

with any of these privileges may:

• Reboot a managed appliance and disconnect sessions

• Administer local user accounts on the managed appliance

• Control target device power

• Establish sessions with target devices from KVM switches, serial console appliances or other

supported units.

Appliance administrators and DSView 3 software administrators may also Flash upgrade a

managed appliance and configure settings for a managed appliance.

Managed appliance rights may be changed. See About Access Rights on page 129.

When you add a KVM switch or serial console appliance, attached target devices are also added.

If you add a KVM switch or serial console appliance that has an attached power device, the power

device is automatically added to the DSView 3 software database. Any target devices plugged into

the power device outlets (sockets) are also added, based on the options selected.

The applicable X.509 certificate is automatically copied from the DSView 3 software to the unit

being added. A certificate is a unique identifier of an individual managed appliance. (EVR1500
