Prerequisites for GlobalView

Prerequisites for GlobalView

The GlobalView feature is available on all DR Series systems that have version 3.0.0.1 (or later) software installed. The system to which you are currently logged in is automatically included by default in the GlobalView page; however, any other systems must be explicitly added. For details, see Adding a DR Series System to Global View.

The following list descries the prerequisites that must be met so that you can add and view additional DR Series systems in the GlobalView page.

•
All DR Series systems must have the same version of 3.x or 4.x software installed. Systems running older software versions cannot be added to the GlobalView page.
•
All DR Series systems must have unique service tags.
•
When you use GlobalView, you must log on to the DR Series system by using your domain credentials; for example, you must log in as [DOMAIN]\Administrator instead of just Administrator.
