DSView 3 Servers

This chapter describes how to configure DSView 3 server properties, backup and restore hub servers and manage spoke servers.

Server Properties

Table 5.1 lists the DSView 3 server properties.

Table 5.1: Server Properties

Property	Description
Identity	Name of the DSView 3 server and the server’s role (hub or spoke).
	IP address (*) and port used by clients to access the server using the HTTPS (SSL)
	protocol. You may change the port number used for the HTTPS connection.
	NOTE: When the DSView 3 server is running on a Linux system, the IP address field may
	contain the loopback address. If this is not desired, edit the /etc/hosts file on the Linux
Network	system. Add a new line above the line that defines the loopback address. The new line
	should contain the IP address, followed by the host name. For example, the following new
	line adds the IP address 172.30.20.206 for the host name sun-jcv-fc3.avocent.com, above
	the existing line that defines the loopback address (127.0.0.1).
	172.30.20.206	sun-jcv-fc3.avocent.com
	127.0.0.1	localhost.localdomain sun-jcv-fc3.avocent.com localhost sun-jcv-fc3
Certificate	DSView 3 server certificate presented to DSView 3 software client web browsers.
	When the Avocent proxy server is used, DSView 3 software client KVM and serial session
	requests are sent through the DSView 3 server rather than directly to the KVM switch or
Proxy Server	serial console appliance, which prevents the exposure of the internal address of the
	managed appliance. You may change the proxy server configuration.
	NOTE: EVR1500 environmental monitor, DSI5100 IPMI and generic appliance sessions
	are not sent through the DSView 3 server, even when the proxy is enabled.
SSH Server	Enables/disables the SSH server and specifies the port it uses.
