To disable automatic topology synchronization, disable the Update DSView with
topology changes from appliances automatically checkbox and go to the last step.
5. If you enable the Allow target devices with the same name to be merged into a single
target device checkbox, the connection to a target device in the appliance will be merged
with the connection(s) to an existing target device in the DSView software database.
6. If you enable the Delete Target Devices that no longer have connections checkbox, target
devices that no longer have connections will be permanently deleted from the DSView
software database.
7. If you enable the Add a target device to new connections checkbox, a target device in the
appliance will be added to a new unit (appliance, power device or cascade switch)
connection in the DSView software database.
If you disable this checkbox, the target device in the appliance will not be added
automatically to a new unit connection in the DSView software database. However,
you can add it manually; see Topology view on page 116.
8. If you enable the Allow target devices that contain default names to be added for these
type of connections checkbox, you may then enable one or more connection type
checkboxes. Any target devices that contain default names in the appliance will be added
to the DSView software database only if the connection type in the appliance matches an
enabled connection type in this window.
9. Click Save.
