Units View Windows

Units View windows display list of units that have been added to the DSView software database.
A user must have unit view access rights to open Units View windows; see About Access Rights
on page 163. Also, units will not display if they are hidden; see Showing and hiding units on
page 119.
Each Units View window contains one or more information fields; see Units View windows fields
on page 120.
Units are displayed in a table format with column headings. Use the checkbox to the left of each
unit name to select/deselect the unit for an operation. To select all the units on a page, click the
checkbox at the left of all the column headings at the top of the list - this is usually to the left of
the Name column. Clicking this Select All checkbox will automatically enable the checkboxes
for all units on that page. To deselect items that were previously selected, click on the checkbox.
When you click the checkbox at the top of the list, all units on the current page are selected (or
deselected if they were previously all selected). If the list of units spans more than one page,
units on subsequent pages will not be selected. You can specify how many items will appear on
a Units View page (that is, the number of rows); see Using the Customize link in windows on
page 30.
Types of Units View windows
There are four types of Units View windows, which are accessed by clicking tabs and side
navigation bar links. Additional Units View windows, such as Virtualization or Blade Chassis,
may be added by plug-ins; see the plug-in documentation for more information. For information
about using the collapse/expand icons in the side navigation bar, see Using the Side Navigation
Bar on page 26.
Any Units View window that contains managed appliances may also be viewed using the
topology feature, which displays a hierarchical structure; see Topology view on page 116.
