Synchronizing the DSView 3
Software Database
This chapter describes how to synchronize the DSView 3 software database with changes that
occur on units.
Name Synchronization
Units and connections in the DSView 3 software system have a “Name in DSView”, which is the
name stored in the DSView 3 software database. Some units (appliance serial ports, cascade
switches, target devices, power devices and power device sockets) may also have a “Name in
Appliance,” which is the name stored in the managed appliance.
The DSView 3 software name synchronization feature will “push” and/or “pull” names. You may
enable the name push and name pull operations to run automatically. You may also push and pull
names manually.
Name push
When the name of a target device or cascade device is changed in the DSView 3 software database,
a push operation will update the target device, cascade device, serial port and power device socket
names in the appliance.
You may also rename units associated with a single connection to a target device in the DSView 3
software database. The name push operation will then push the new unit names to the appliance.
Name pull
When the name of a target device, cascade device, serial port or power device socket is changed in
a managed appliance, a pull operation will update the target device and cascade device names in the
DSView 3 software database.
You may enable/disable automatic name push and automatic name pull. You may also manually
initiate a push or pull operation at any time.
