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 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
