Specifications

• Click Target Devices in the side navigation bar to view all target devices, including virtual
machines.
• To enable Topology view, click Topology. Click the arrow next to the virtual environment
unit to expand the list and display all connected units.
NOTE: For more information about navigation and actions that can be performed from Units View windows, see
the DSView 3 help for more information.
Deleting virtual environment units
You may delete hypervisor managers or servers from the DSView 3 software by selecting the
units and clicking the Delete button in the Units View window. This action removes the unit
from the DSView 3 software but does not affect the virtual environment. For more information
about deleting units, see the DSView 3 help for more information.
NOTE: As a best practice, delete virtual machines from the virtual environment instead of clicking the Delete button
in the DSView 3 software. When virtual machines are added or removed from the virtual environment, the DSView
3 software will automatically be resynchronized with the virtual environment.
Access rights
DSView 3 software administrators may assign unit access rights for the virtual environment.
Unit access rights allow administrators to specify what users or user groups may perform certain
actions for a unit type. See the DSView 3 help for more information.
Unit Tools
A variety of tools for the virtual environment is available from the Unit Overview window.
From the DSView 3 software, you can merge virtual target device connections with physical
target device connections. Merging the unit connections allows all possible actions to be
available from a single view, while the physical and virtual target devices remain distinct
entities within the DSView 3 database. For example, a MergePoint
®
service processor (SP)
manager may be connected to a blade server that hosts an ESX Server. By merging the physical
blade server connections with the virtual EXS Server connections, you could launch a KVM
session to the blade server or VI Client session to the ESX Server from the same view with the
DSView 3 software. See the DSView 3 help for more for more information.
Virtual machine sessions
From the DSView 3 software, you can establish a VNC, RDP, SSH or VMware viewer session
to a virtual machine.
