Importing DSView 2.x software databases
NOTE: This procedure is available only when the DSView 3 software is installed on a supported Windows
system.
The Import DSView 2.x software database tool allows you to import an existing DSView 2.x
software database into the DSView 3 software system. When a database is imported, the following
items will be imported:
• Units, including attached cascade switches, power devices and target devices
• Users and user groups with unit access rights
• Authentication services, including Windows NT domains, LDAP and local accounts
• System settings, including the ability to display connected users, connection sharing, status
polling and delay rates and when the event log is deleted
The following actions occur when a DSView 2.x software database is imported into the DSView 3
management software system:
• A global unit group is created in the system for each group found in the DSView 2.x software
database. The DSView 3 software does not provide DSView 2.x software Topology unit group
nesting. Unit group names added to the system are a concatenation of the hierarchical names
found in the DSView 2.x software, including the truncation of names when necessary.
• If a user had Admin rights in the DSView 2.x software for all nodes in the tree (including the
Topology node), the user will be added as a member and inherit the access rights of a DSView
administrator user group member in the DSView 3 software.
If a user had Admin rights in the DSView 2.x software for all nodes in the tree except for the
Topology node, the user will be added as a member and inherit the access rights of an
appliance administrator user group member in the DSView 3 software.
If a user had any other type rights in the DSView 2.x software, the user will be added as a
member of the user group in the DSView 3 software. Access rights are set for units to which
the user has access as follows:
• A user with User rights to a target device in the DSView 2.x software will be assigned the
Establish Viewer Sessions access right in the DSView 3 software.
• A user with Admin rights to a target device in the DSView 2.x software will be assigned
the Configure Unit Settings, Establish Viewer Sessions and Control Target Device Power
access rights in the DSView 3 software.
