perform database replication with the hub server. The DSView 3 software hub server
acts as the traffic cop for database replication between itself and all of the other servers
in a DSView 3 software system.
The DSView 3 software hub server and a spoke server offer the same software
functionality to a user. The distinction of hub or spoke only has to do with the
database replication role the server plays and not with the software functionality the
server offers to the user.
The DSView 3 management software versions of the spoke server and hub server must
match in order to register the spoke server. For example, you may not register a spoke
server running DSView 3 version 3.1 with a hub server running DSView 3 software
version 3.2.
DSView 3 software spoke server
A DSView 3 software spoke server is responsible for initiating database replication
with the hub server. A spoke server sends its database changes to the hub server and
receives database changes from it.
The DSView 3 software hub server and a spoke server offer the same software
functionality to a user. The distinction of hub or spoke only has to do with the
database replication role the server plays and not with the software functionality the
server offers to the user.
The DSView 3 management software versions of the spoke server and hub server must
match in order to register the spoke server. For example, you may not register a spoke
server running DSView 3 software version 3.1 with a hub server running DSView 3
software version 3.2.
DSView 3 software system
A DSView 3 software system includes all the components required to provide DSView
3 software functionality, including the DSView 3 server, DSView 3 software client,
managed appliances and target devices.
An SNMP manager and external authentication servers, which are optional components
and outside the DSView 3 software system, may also be added to provide additional
functionality.
Embedded appliance
Embedded appliances include IBM ASM RSA II, DRAC 4, HP iLO and NEC IPF
embedded appliances.
