DSView 3 Software Installer/User Guide

Adding Plug-ins

For optimal operation, the hub and all of the spoke servers should have the same version of a plug-
in installed. Follow the steps described in

Recommended Sequence for Adding/Upgrading Plug-ins

.

During the add operation on the hub server, new data types defined in the plug-in are registered in
the DSView 3 software database. After the plug-in is added to the spoke server and a replication
operation is initiated, the registration information on the hub server is propagated to the
spoke server.

On the hub server, a new plug-in becomes active when it is added. On a spoke server, a new plug-in
becomes active only after the plug-in is added to the hub and then to the spoke and a subsequent
replication completes successfully.

If you are adding a plug-in from a company other than Avocent, you may need to add a license key
to the DSView 3 software system before adding the plug-in to any server. Contact your Avocent
representative to determine if a key is needed. To add a license, see

Licenses

on page 32.

1.

in. Click

Next

.

6.

The Adding Plug-in page will open while the plug-in is added to the DSView 3
software system.

7.

The Completed Successful window will open. Click

Finish

.

Displaying Plug-in Information

You may display information about all plug-ins that have been added as well as information about
a single plug-in on the DSView 3 software server where you are logged in.

To display plug-in information:
