Upgrading the DSView 3 software
When upgrading to a newer version of the DSView 3 software, it is recommended that all DSView
3 servers are upgraded at the same time. The DSView 3 software hub server should be upgraded
first, followed by each spoke server.
Before upgrading, a replication should be performed (see Replication on page 71), then a backup
immediately before and after upgrading the DSView 3 software (see Backing up and Restoring Hub
Servers Manually on page 65).
The firmware for the appliances may also need to be upgraded in order to support new functionality
in the DSView 3 software version. The DSView 3 software should work with the existing firmware
revisions, but in cases where new functionality is not supported until the firmware is upgraded, the
DSView 3 software will indicate this in the GUI.
Running the DSView 3 Software
DSView 3 software clients access the DSView 3 management software host using a supported web
browser. Any software required by the client, such as applets and the Java Runtime Environment
(JRE), will be automatically installed by the DSView 3 server host.
The DSView 3 software uses Secure Sockets Layers (SSL) encryption to send data between the
DSView 3 software host and the web browser on the client to ensure data integrity and privacy.
When a user attempts to log in to a DSView 3 software client session, the authentication service
configured in the DSView 3 software by the DSView 3 software administrator verifies the
credentials of the user. Security alerts related to the certificates on the DSView 3 software host may
appear. See Certificates on page 43.
