software. You can use the Resync Wizard or the update topology task to resynchronize the
systems and update the DSView 3 software database.
An attached hypervisor server is automatically resynchronized when the hypervisor manager is
resynchronized; you cannot resynchronize an attached hypervisor server separately.
Using the Resync Units Wizard
From the Units Overview window, you can click the Resync button to launch the Resync Units
Wizard for the hypervisor manager or server. For instructions about using the Resync Units
Wizard, see the DSView 3 help (keywords: resynchronizing units).
NOTE: Although not supported, the Resync button is displayed for attached hypervisor servers. In this case, clicking
the Resync button causes a Resync Failed message to display.
Using the update topology task
The update topology task performs the same operations as the Resync Unit Wizard but can be
scheduled to occur at regular intervals. See the DSView 3 help for more information.
Virtual Machine Operations
If you have access rights, you can submit virtual machine operations to the virtual environment
from the Operations menu in the DSView 3 software. Operations include turn off or turn on,
suspend or resume, or reset virtual machines. The Operation Submitted window allows you to
view if the submission was successful. The events log records both a DSView 3 event
indicating that the operation was submitted as well as a virtual environment event stating the
results of the operation.
You can also hide virtual machines from the DSView 3 software window or view virtual
machine properties. These operations occur in the DSView 3 software, not the virtual
environment.
To hide virtual machines from view:
For instructions, see the DSView 3 help for more information.
To view unit properties using the Operations menu:
For instructions, see the DSView 3 help for more information.
