66 DSView Installer/User Guide
You may optionally specify up to 15 computers as spoke servers. Contact your Avocent sales
representative for information about spoke server licenses.
NOTE: The DSView management software versions of the spoke server and hub server must match in order to
register a spoke server. For example, you may not register a spoke server running DSView management
software version 3.0 with a hub server running DSView management software 3.1.
A spoke server may be created by:
• Specifying a spoke server when installing the DSView management software.
• Converting a hub server to a spoke server by registering it as a spoke to another DSView
software hub server. The DSView software system data on the hub server being converted will
be lost and the converted hub server will replicate the data of the new specified hub server.
You may also change the properties of a spoke server or remove spoke servers from your system.
To display a list of spoke servers:
NOTE: The Spoke Servers window is only available on the hub server.
1. From the DSView Explorer, click the System tab.
2. From the top navigation bar, click DSView Server. The side navigation bar will include the
name of the server to which you are logged in.
3. From the side navigation bar, click Properties.
4. From the side navigation bar, click Spoke Servers. The Spoke Servers window will open.
Each spoke server in the display has a status icon.Table 3.2 lists the possible status values.
