The following actions occur when a DSView 2.x software database is imported into the
DSView 3 management software system:
• A global unit group is created in the system for each group found in the DSView 2.x
software database. The DSView 3 software does not provide DSView 2.x software
Topology unit group nesting. Unit group names added to the system are a concatenation of
the hierarchical names found in the DSView 2.x software, including the truncation of
names when necessary.
• If a user had Admin rights in the DSView 2.x software for all nodes in the tree (including
the Topology node), the user will be added as a member and inherit the access rights of a
DSView administrator user group member in the DSView 3 software.
If a user had Admin rights in the DSView 2.x software for all nodes in the tree except
for the Topology node, the user will be added as a member and inherit the access
rights of an appliance administrator user group member in the DSView 3 software.
If a user had any other type rights in the DSView 2.x software, the user will be added
as a member of the user group in the DSView 3 software. Access rights are set for units
to which the user has access as follows:
• A user with User rights to a target device in the DSView 2.x software will be assigned
the Establish Viewer Sessions access right in the DSView 3 software.
• A user with Admin rights to a target device in the DSView 2.x software will be
assigned the Configure Unit Settings, Establish Viewer Sessions and Control Target
Device Power access rights in the DSView 3 software.
• A user with User rights to a DS1800 digital switch, CPS appliance or DSR switch in
the DSView 2.x software will not be assigned any access rights in the DSView 3
software.
• A user with Admin rights to a DS1800 digital switch, CPS appliance or DSR switch in
the DSView 2.x software will be assigned the Reboot Appliance, Flash Upgrade
Appliance and Configure Appliance Settings access rights in the DSView 3 software.
• Cascade switch types in the DSView 2.x software database cannot be determined during
the import process and are added as Generic 1 x <n> switches, based on the number of
