Upgrading the DSView Software
When upgrading to a newer version of the DSView software, all DSView servers should be
upgraded at the same time. The DSView hub server should be upgraded first, followed by each
spoke server.
Before upgrading, a replication should be performed (see Replication on page 84), then a
backup immediately before and after upgrading the DSView software (see Backing up and
Restoring Hub Servers Manually on page 77).
The firmware for the appliances may also need to be upgraded in order to support new
functionality in the DSView software. The DSView software should work with the existing
firmware revisions, but in cases where new functionality is not supported until the firmware is
upgraded, the DSView software will indicate this in the GUI.
For more information on upgrading DSView software, see the DSView Management Software
Transition Technical Bulletin located at www.avocent.com/download under the DSView
Software heading.
Configuring the DSView Software
After the DSView software has been installed, it must be configured using a web browser.
During configuration, you specify whether the computer will be a hub server or a spoke server.
If this is your first DSView server installation, hub should be selected in the Select DSView
Server Role window. The hub server should be installed before any spoke servers are added.
What you will need
If the computer will be a hub server, you will need the license key obtained from Avocent and
provide a username and password to use for initial log in.
If the computer will be a spoke server, you will need to identify the associated hub server and
provide the name/password of the hub server’s DSView software administrator.
To configure the DSView software:
1. If you are configuring the DSView software during the installation process, you have
already clicked Done in the Launch Default Browser window.
