Task: Migrating AVWorks software CCM appliances to DSView software
compatible units
This task updates any CCM appliances within the unit group, or any CCM appliances using
firmware compatible with the AVWorks software to firmware that is compatible with the DSView
management software.
Before an AVWorks software CCM appliance can be migrated, you must ensure that it is Flashed
with bootstrap and application images at version 2.2 or higher. This procedure is described in the
CCM Appliance Migration document, which is available on the Avocent web site.
