Resynchronizing the server listing for serial console switches
During the resynchronization process, a warning message indicates that the database is updated to
match the current configuration in the serial console switch. This warning contains a checkbox that
indicates whether servers that are configured with default names should be excluded. If servers are
excluded, they are not added to (or they can be removed from) the database if they already exist in the
database. Excluded servers are removed only from the database if there are no other connections to the
server.
NOTE: This procedure resynchronizes only the HP IP Console Viewer client that you use to resynchronize. If
you maintain multiple HP IP Console Viewer clients, save your resynchronized local database, and load it
into the other HP IP Console Viewer clients to ensure consistency.
To resynchronize the server list:
1. Select Servers.
2. Click Resync. The Welcome to the Resync Console Switch Wizard window appears.
