74 DSView Installer/User Guide

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

software version 3.0 with a hub server running DSView management software 3.1.

A spoke server may be created by:

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

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

software hub server. The DSView 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.

Each spoke server in the display has a status icon. Table 3.2 lists the possible status values.

Table 3.2: DSView Software Spoke Server Status Icons

Icon Description Cause

Responding

Normal operation. The hub and spoke servers are communicating

with each other using HTTPS.

Not responding

The hub and spoke servers cannot communicate with each other

using HTTPS. This typically indicates a network communication

error. Ensure that network connectivity is occurring between the

two servers.

Hub/Spoke Versions

Not Compatible

The versions of DSView management software on the hub server

and spoke servers are not compatible.

Certificates Do Not

Match

Certificates on the hub server and spoke servers do not match.

See Managing hub and spoke server certificates on page 76 for

information about updating the server certificates so that they

will match.

Invalid Server or

Versions Not

Compatible

A server responded, but it is not compatible with the DSView

software. This typically occurs when communication is attempted

with a server that does not contain the software, or if either server

contains an older version of the software. Ensure that both

servers are running the same DSView software version.
