Adding Multi-Viewers to a Cluster
To create a system with multiple multi-viewers:
1. Open XEdit, and then click Connect on the Configure menu, to access one of the multi-viewers you
wish to be part of a cluster system. See “Connecting to a Multi-Viewer” on page 70.
You are now ready to add more multi-viewers to the system.
2. In the equipment library, select any multi-viewer type, and then drag it onto the root of the System
hierarchical list.
The Add Multi-Viewer to Cluster window appears.
Notes
• Any multi-viewer you wish to add to a cluster must have Kaleido-X Software version 4.00 or
later, and all members of a cluster must have the same Kaleido-X Software version.
• Each multi-viewer you wish to add to a cluster must have a unique name.
• If you change the system name or IP address of a cluster member while another cluster member
is offline or otherwise unavailable, the cluster’s integrity will be broken. If you attempt to make
such a change, XEdit will alert you of the situation, prompting you to cancel the operation and
try again later, when all cluster members are available. If you choose to force the change, then
you will need to repair the cluster (see “Repairing a Cluster System” on page 83).
• Changing the system name or IP address of a KMV-3901/3911 multi-viewer associated with a
cluster, by using the card’s control panel on the Densité housing frame, or by using the KMV-
3901/3911 control panel in iControl, is not supported. If this happens, then you will need to
repair the cluster (see “Repairing a Cluster System” on page 83).
• A multi-viewer can only be part of one cluster system at any time. XEdit will not let you add a
multi-viewer that is already included in a different cluster system.
