104 DSView Installer/User Guide
NOTE: The DSView software is delivered with one Spoke DSView Server license. The number of available
Spoke DSView Servers is dependant on the number of purchased Spoke DSView Server licenses. Additional
license may be purchased. Contact your Avocent sales representative for more information.
A Spoke DSView Server may be created by:
• Specifying a Spoke DSView Server when installing the DSView software. Up to 15 Spoke
DSView Servers may be added to the DSView 3.0 management system. For information on
creating a Spoke DSView Server using this method, see Specifying and Managing Spoke
Authentication Servers on page 103.
• Registering a Spoke DSView Server to an existing Hub DSView Server, which will convert
the Hub DSView Server to a Spoke DSView Server. The actual DSView system data that
DSView users access from a DSView Client will come from a different Hub DSView Server.
The current Hub DSView Server will replicate the data on the new Hub DSView Server that
you specify.
When a Hub DSView Server is demoted to a Spoke DSView Server, you must provide the IP
address of the new Hub DSView Server, and the username and password of a DSView user
with DSView Administrator privileges must be specified.
NOTE: All data on the Hub DSView Server being registered as a Spoke DSView Server will be lost.
If you are configuring the DSView software and enter a license key that is already in use, you will
either need to register the server as a Spoke DSView Server, or you will need to purchase another
license key. See Specifying and Managing Spoke Authentication Servers on page 103 for
more information.
Spoke DSView Server information, such as IP address, port number and certificate, is stored in a
database on the Hub DSView Server.
You may also modify the properties of a Spoke DSView Server or remove Spoke DSView Servers
from your system.
To view the Spoke DSView Servers that are installed in your DSView system, select System in the
tab bar, DSView Server in the top navigation bar and Spoke Servers in the side navigation bar. The
Spoke Servers window will appear.
