including the new task.
Task: Migrating DSView 2.x units to DSView software compatible units
NOTE: This task is valid only when the DSView 3 software is installed on a supported Windows system.
This task updates DS1800 digital switches, CPS appliances or DSR switches within the unit group,
or any of those managed appliances using firmware compatible with DSView 2.x software to
firmware that is compatible with the DSView management software.
The managed appliances should not be Flash upgraded from DSView 2.x firmware to firmware that
supports DSView 3 software before using the Migrate Units command. The recommended
procedure is to first import the DSView 2.x software database to the new DSView software system
using the Import DSView 2.x Database tool (see Importing DSView 2.x software databases on
page 247), followed by running the Migrate Units task on each managed appliance.
A CPS appliance or DSR switch that has been migrated to DSView 3 software compatible
firmware may be returned to DSView 2.x compatibility.
