Chapter 4: Managing Units 89
• A single target device that is not attached to a managed appliance
NOTE: A DSI5100 appliance may be attached to only one DSView software system at a time.
When a managed appliance is added, DSView software administrator, user administrator and
appliance administrator privileges are automatically assigned to the managed appliance. A user
with any of these privileges may:
• Reboot a managed appliance and disconnect sessions
• Administer local user accounts on the managed appliance
• Control target device power
• Establish sessions with target devices from the DS1800 digital switch, CPS appliance, CCM
appliance or DSR switch, or establish sessions with BMCs attached to a DSI5100 appliance as
target devices.
Appliance administrators and DSView software administrators may:
• Flash upgrade a managed appliance
• View and configure settings for a managed appliance
Managed appliance rights may be changed. See Changing Unit Access Rights on page 102 for
more information.
An SPC device is automatically added to the DSView software database and associated with the
specified serial port on a DSR switch, CPS appliance or CCM appliance when you add the
managed appliance. Any target devices plugged into the SPC device outlets are also added, based
on the options selected.
The applicable X.509 certificate is automatically copied from the DSView management software to
the DS1800 digital switch, DSI5100, CPS or CCM appliance or DSR switch being added. A
certificate is a unique identifier of an individual managed appliance.
NOTE: EVR1500 environmental monitors and generic appliances do not support certificates and may be added
to multiple DSView software systems.
