96 DSView 3 Software Installer/User Guide
• 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 the DS1800 digital switch, CPS appliance, CCM
appliance or DSR switch, or establish sessions with BMCs attached to a DSI5100 appliance as
target devices.
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 120.
When you add a DSR switch or CCM/CPS appliance, attached target devices are also added.
If you add a DSR switch or CCM/CPS 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
DS1800 digital switch, DSI5100, CPS or CCM appliance or DSR switch being added. A certificate
is a unique identifier of an individual managed appliance. (EVR1500 environmental monitors and
generic appliances do not support certificates and may be added to multiple DSView 3
software systems.)
Wizards that add units
In a Units View window, clicking Add invokes a wizard that guides you through the process of
adding managed appliances and target devices to the DSView 3 software system. The units that are
visible in the current Units View window determines which wizard will be invoked when you
click
Add .
• If you are in the Appliances - All window, you can add managed appliances of any type. You
cannot add target devices from that window.
• If you are in the Units View window for a specific appliance type (such as Appliances - CCM
4850), you can only add more appliances of that type (CCM 4850 appliances). You cannot add
appliances of any other type or any target devices.
• If you are in the Target Devices - All window or any of the target device type windows (such
as Target Devices - Linux Servers), you can add target devices. You cannot add appliances
from that window.
