Chapter 2: Installation 13
12. When the software has finished installing, the Successful Service Startup message box will
appear. Click Continue.
13. The Installation Complete window will open.
• To begin configuration of the DSView 3 software, click Done; see Configuring the
DSView 3 Software on page 14. A Security Alert dialog box will appear containing certifi-
cate information and a warning that the generator of the certificate is not trusted. This
occurs because the DSView 3 server certificate created when the server is installed is a
self-signed certificate. You may either import the certificate into the DSView 3 software
client web browser (choosing to trust the certificate) or obtain a server certificate from a
Certificate Authority (CA) trusted by the web browser.
• To configure the DSView 3 software at a later time, click X (Cancel) in the top right corner
of the window.
To install the DSView 3 software on a supported Linux or Solaris system:
1. Log in to the server as root.
2. Insert the DSView 3 software DVD into your DVD drive. If AutoMount is supported and
enabled, open a command window and continue with step 3.
If your system does not support AutoMount, issue the following command to mount the DVD
volume:
mount <device> <mount point> , where <device> and <mount point> are the names
of your server’s DVD Linux or Solaris device and mount point directory, respectively.
For example, to mount the first IDE cdrom on /media/cdrom, enter the command:
mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom
3. Enter the following command to access the readme file:
less /<mount point>/DSView/readme
For example, the following command accesses the readme file on the /media/cdrom mount
point.
less /media/cdrom/DSView/readme
4. Follow the instructions in the readme file.
Upgrading the DSView 3 Software
When upgrading to a newer version of the DSView 3 software, all DSView 3 servers should be
upgraded at the same time. The DSView 3 hub server should be upgraded first, followed by each
spoke server.
Before upgrading, a replication should be performed (see Replication on page 75), then a backup
immediately before and after upgrading the DSView 3 software (see Backing up and Restoring Hub
Servers Manually on page 69).
The firmware for the appliances may also need to be upgraded in order to support new functionality
in the DSView 3 software. The DSView 3 software should work with the existing firmware
