This chapter describes the steps for transitioning to Rack Power Manager software.
• Transitioning from DSView 3 management software and DSView 3 Power Manager Plug-in
to Rack Power Manager software
• Transitioning from DSView software version 4 or higher to the Rack Power Manager
software
DSView™ 3 Software and Power Manager Plug-in to RPM
software
NOTE: In this document, DSView 3 software refers to DSView software versions 3.7.2.x or 3.7.3.x.
NOTE: In order to safely upgrade to the RPM software, and to provide a roll-back path in case of upgrade failures,
perform each of the following steps. If your DSView 3 configuration does not include spoke servers, skip the steps that
refer to spoke servers.
Before you begin, ensure that you budget sufficient time to transition the hub and spoke servers
concurrently.
Data Replication
Perform a replication of all DSView 3 software spoke servers. In order to ensure that the entire
system has fully replicated, run the replication task twice to ensure that all spokes are in sync
with the hub server.
To initiate an immediate replication on a spoke server:
1. On the spoke server, click the System tab.
2. Click Tasks in the top navigation bar. The Tasks window will open.
3. Check the checkbox to the left of the Database Replication task and then click Run Now.
