• If you enable the Delete target devices that no longer have connections checkbox, by
default, any target devices that no longer have connections are permanently deleted
from the DSView software database.
• If you enable the Allow target devices with the same name to be merged into a single
target device checkbox, by default, 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.
• If a target device has a default name, you may indicate that, by default, it can be added
to the DSView software database only if it supports specific connection type(s) in the
appliance. Enable the checkboxes for the specific connection types.

Merging target devices
Merging target devices may be necessary if a target device is connected to one or more
managed appliances. For example, if a target device is connected to both a DSR switch and an
ACS console server, this tool will merge the target devices (that were created when the
managed appliances were added) into a single target device that contains all of the target
actions.
You may also merge target devices from a Unit Tools window, see Merging target devices on
page 350.
To merge target devices from a Units View window:
1. In a Units View window containing target devices (see Accessing Units View windows on
page 118), click on the target device name. The Unit Overview window will open.
2. Click the Merge Target Devices icon or link. The Merge Target Devices Wizard will
appear.
3. The Select Target Devices to Merge window will open. The selected target device will be
listed in the Target Devices to Merge list.
• To add one or more target devices to the merge list, select the target device(s) in the
Available Target Devices list, then click Add. The target devices will be moved to the
Target Devices to Merge list.
• To remove one or more target devices from the merge list, select the target device(s)
from the Target Devices to Merge list, then click Remove. The target devices will be
moved to the Available Target Devices list.
