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
