Importing DSView 2.x software databases
NOTE: This procedure is supported only when the DSView software is installed on a supported
Windows system.
The Import DSView 2.x software database tool allows you to import an existing DSView 2.x
software database into the DSView software system. When a database is imported, the following
items will be imported:
• Units, including attached cascade switches, SPC devices and target devices
• Users and user groups with unit access rights
• Authentication services, including Windows NT domains, LDAP and local accounts
• System settings, including the ability to display connected users, connection sharing, status
polling and delay rates and when the event log is deleted
The following actions occur when a DSView 2.x software database is imported into the DSView
software system:
• A global unit group is created in the system for each group found in the DSView 2.x software
database. The DSView management 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
software administrator user group member in the DSView management 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 management software.
