Spoke Servers

Information on the hub server is replicated on one or more spoke servers. Information about

each spoke server, such as IP address, port number and certificate, is stored in the hub server’s

database.

You may specify up to 15 computers as spoke servers. Contact Avocent for information about

spoke server licenses. To install licenses, see Licenses on page 60.

NOTE: The DSView 3 management software versions of the spoke server and hub server must match in order to

with a hub server running DSView 3 software version 3.2.

A spoke server may be created by:

• Specifying a spoke server when installing the DSView 3 software.

• Converting a hub server to a spoke server by registering it as a spoke to another DSView 3

software hub server. The DSView 3 software system data on the hub server being converted

will be lost and the converted hub server will replicate the data of the new specified hub

server.

You may also change the properties of a spoke server or remove spoke servers from your

system.

To display a list of spoke servers:

NOTE: The Spoke Servers window is only available on the hub server.

1. Click the System tab.

2. Click DSView Server in the top navigation bar. The side navigation bar will include the

name of the server to which you are logged in.

3. Click Properties in the side navigation bar, and then click Spoke Servers. The Spoke

Servers window will open.

You may change the fields that display by using the Customize link. See Using the

Customize link in windows on page 32.

Each spoke server in the list includes status.
