To drag and drop a unit into a site, department, location, or folder:
1. From the main window, click and hold the desired row in the selected view.
2. Drag the item to the desired directory in the group view, and then release the mouse button.
NOTE: A unit cannot be moved to the All Departments, All Console Switches, All Servers, or Root Sites
directory. Units can be moved only one at a time.
Deleting and renaming a unit
The delete function is context-sensitive, based on what is currently selected in the group and selected
views. When a unit in the selected view is selected and deleted, the server is removed from the local
database. When an item is selected and deleted in the tree view of the group view, you can delete server
types, sites, departments, location, and folders. However, none of these actions results in console switches
being deleted from the local database. The HP IP Console Viewer also provides the ability to rename
items in the database, including individual devices, sites, departments, locations, and folders.
NOTE: For legacy analog console switches (such as HP 2 x 16 KVM Server Console Switches, HP 1 x 8 IP
Console Switches, and Compaq legacy analog switches) if you delete or rename a server through the HP IP
Console Viewer, the OSD server list becomes out of date. For KVM console switches with Virtual Media, you
can delete or rename a server through the Servers category in the Manage Console Switch window and the
interface adapter and server name in the main window are dynamically updated.
