Resynchronizing units
When a unit changes its configuration, it may not be properly represented in the DSView
software system. For example, a target device may be added, removed or moved.
Resynchronizing will update these and other changes made to the unit within the DSView
software system.
Resynchronizing will force a check of the entire DSView software system. The process requires
a large amount of time and network bandwidth and should only be performed when necessary.
Alternatively, you may use the automatic topology synchronization feature or synchronize
selected units manually from a Units View window. See Topology Synchronization on page
146.
To resynchronize a unit:
1. In the Unit Overview window, click the Resync icon or link. The Resync Unit Wizard will
appear.
2. The Select Resync Options window will open. (For more information about the resync
options, see Topology synchronization options in the Resync Wizard on page 149.)
a. Enable the Remove offline connections checkbox to remove from the DSView software
database any connections to target devices that are reported as offline in the appliance.
The Resync Wizard does not add offline connections to the DSView software
database.
b. Enable the Delete target devices that no longer have connections checkbox to delete
those target devices permanently from the DSView software database.
c. Enable the Allow target devices with the same name to be merged into a single target
device checkbox to allow the DSView software to treat multiple target devices with
the same name as one unit with multiple access methods.
d. Enable the Allow target devices that contain default names to be added checkbox to
allow target devices that have default names in the managed appliances to be added to
the DSView software database.
e. Click Next.
3. If the unit does not require resynchronizing, the Completed Successful window will open.
If the unit requires resynchronizing, the Changes Detected in Appliance window will
open. Click Next and go to step 7.
If one or more cascade switches are attached to the KVM switch, the Cascade Switch
Configuration window will open. Go to step 4.
