Synchronizing the Virtual Environment and DSView 3 Software
If you use the virtual environment to add or remove a virtual machine, one of two results
occurs:
• If the corresponding events are logged in the DSView 3 software, the virtual environment
and DSView 3 software are automatically synchronized.
• If the DSView 3 server is unresponsive or if the connection is lost to the virtual
environment, an event is not received by DSView 3 software. In this case, automatic
synchronization does not occur; you must run the Resync Unit Wizard or update topology
task to synchronize the virtual environment and DSView 3 software.
For how managed devices are affected, see Virtual Machines Management on page 4.
If you use the virtual environment to make any changes other than adding or removing a virtual
machine, you must manually synchronize the hypervisor manager or server with the DSView 3
