• To configure the DSView 3 software at a later time, click X (Cancel) in the top right
corner of the window.
To install the DSView 3 software on a supported Linux or Solaris system:
1. Log in to the server as root.
2. Insert the DSView 3 software DVD into your DVD drive. If AutoMount is supported and
enabled, open a command window and continue with step 3.
If your system does not support AutoMount, issue the following command to mount
the DVD volume: mount <device> <mount point>, where <device> and <mount
point> are the names of your server’s DVD Linux or Solaris device and mount point
directory, respectively.
For example, to mount the first IDE cdrom on /media/cdrom, enter the command:
mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom
3. Enter the following command to access the readme file:
less /<mount point>/DSView/readme
For example, the following command accesses the readme file on the /media/cdrom
mount point.
less /media/cdrom/DSView/readme
4. Follow the instructions in the readme file.
Upgrading the DSView 3 Software
When upgrading to a newer version of the DSView 3 software, all DSView 3 servers should be
upgraded at the same time. The DSView 3 hub server should be upgraded first, followed by
each spoke server.
Before upgrading, a replication should be performed (see Replication on page 84), then a
backup immediately before and after upgrading the DSView 3 software (see Backing up and
Restoring Hub Servers Manually on page 77).
The firmware for the appliances may also need to be upgraded in order to support new
functionality in the DSView 3 software. 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.
Recommended upgrade process
NOTE: In order to safely upgrade the DSView 3 software, and to provide for a roll-back path in case of upgrade
failures, perform each of the following steps. If your DSView 3 configuration does not include spoke servers, skip
steps that refer to spokes.
