This chapter describes how to add and delete units in the DSView management software.
Adding Units
You may add:
• A single managed appliance
• A single embedded appliance
• Multiple managed appliances based on a range of IP addresses
• A generic appliance or an EVR1500 environmental monitor
• A single target device that is not attached to a managed appliance
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 KVM switches, serial console appliances or other
supported units.
Appliance administrators and DSView software administrators may also Flash upgrade a managed
appliance and configure settings for a managed appliance.
Managed appliance rights may be changed. See About Access Rights on page 163.
When you add a KVM switch or serial console appliance, attached target devices are also added.
