248 DSView Installer/User Guide
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 management 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 management 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 management 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 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 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 found
switch channels. After importing the DSView 2.x software database and running the Migrate
DSView 2.X Units task, you may run the Resync Wizard on individual CPS appliances,
DS1800 digital switches and DSR switches to specify switch types and merge multiuser
switches. See Resynchronizing managed appliances on page 252 for more information.
• Internal users and built-in user groups with DSView 2.x software permissions residing on the
computer that ran the DSAuth server will be imported into your DSView software system. An
external NT authentication service with the same name as the DSAuth server will be added to
the DSView software system. The DSView 2.x software users and user groups will be
associated with the authentication service added to the DSView software system.
• The DSView 2.x software Everyone user group cannot be imported into DSView
software systems.
Before using the Import DSView 2.x Software Database tool
To use the Import DSView 2.x Software Database tool, you must create a backup of the database
using the DSAuth Migration Utility. The database is saved as a .zip file which may then be
imported into the DSView software system using the Import DSView 2.x Database tool.
NOTE: The DSAuth Migration Utility will shut down the DSView 2.x DSAuth service as it runs and will restart the
service upon completion.
1. On the computer containing the DSView 2.x software database (that is, the DSAuth Server)
that you wish to migrate, Insert the DSView 3 Software CD. An autorun file will display the
DSView management software screen.
2. Click Run DSView 2.x Migration.
-or-
If autorun is not enabled, type
<drive:>\Migration Utility\DSMigration.exe, where <drive:> is
the letter of your CD-ROM drive. The DSAuth Migration Utility dialog box will appear.
