Specifications
To designate virtual machines as unmanaged, select the virtual machines from the
Hosted Virtual Machines list and click Unmanaged. A status of No is displayed in the
Managed column, and the virtual machines are not available from the Target Devices
and Virtualization windows.
6. Click Close.
NOTE: A setting of N/A in the Managed column indicates that the virtual machine was reported as a hosted virtual
machine in the virtual environment but is not synchronized with the DSView 3 database.
Automatic Virtual Machine Manageability
After performing a resync or during VMware operations such as VMotion, VMs are removed
from DSView 3 software and then added back when the virtual machine has been placed on a
different ESX. This places the virtual machine in an unmanaged state. Automatic virtual
machine manageability, when enabled, will keep virtual machines from being placed in an
unmanaged state.
To enable automatic virtual machine manageability:
1. In the DSView 3 software, click on the System tab, then select Plug-ins from the menu.
2. Select the Virtualization plug-in and select the Settings link.
3. Click the Automatically move VMs to Managed State checkbox.
If automatic virtual machine manageability is enabled, any new or cloned virtual machines will
automatically be placed in a managed state.
Units View
The added hypervisor managers, hypervisor servers and virtual machines are available in the
Units View windows in the DSView 3 software. When displaying these units, the DSView 3
software uses the corresponding name reported by the virtual environment in the Add Unit
Wizard. However, if the hypervisor manager and attached hypervisor server report a conflicting
name for that server, the DSView 3 software uses the name reported by the hypervisor manager.
To access the Units View windows:
In the DSView 3 software, click the Units tab. Complete one of the following steps to access a
Units View window for the virtual environment:
• Click Virtualization in the side navigation bar. Click All to view all components in the
virtual environment, or click a unit type to only display units of the respective type.
