Adding and Deleting Units

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

Adding Units

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 144.

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
