environmental monitors and generic appliances do not support certificates and may be added to
multiple DSView 3 software systems.)
Wizards that add units
In a Units View window, clicking Add invokes a wizard that guides you through the process of
adding managed appliances and target devices to the DSView 3 software system. The units that are
visible in the current Units View window determines which wizard will be invoked when you
click Add.
• If you are in the Appliances - All window, you can add managed appliances of any type. You
cannot add target devices from that window.
• If you are in the Units View window for a specific appliance type (such as Appliances -
DSR4030), you can only add more appliances of that type (DSR4030 appliances). You cannot
add appliances of any other type or any target devices.
• If you are in the Target Devices - All window or any of the target device type windows (such as
Target Devices - Linux Servers), you can add target devices. You cannot add appliances from
that window.
• If you are in any other Units View window (see Types of Units View windows on page 95), you
can add a managed appliance or a target device.
When a unit is added to the DSView 3 software database, it is also added to the current Units View.
For example, if you are viewing units in the department named Accounting and click Add, the
newly added unit will automatically be added to the Accounting department.
