software database. The Resync Wizard does not add offline connections to the DSView 3
software database.
• If you enable the Delete target devices that no longer have connections checkbox, by
default, any target devices that no longer have connections are permanently deleted from
the DSView 3 software database.
• If you enable the Allow target devices with the same name to be merged into a single
target device checkbox, by default, the connection to a target device in the appliance will
be merged with the connection(s) to an existing target device in the DSView 3
software database.
• If a target device has a default name, you may indicate that, by default, it can be added to
the DSView 3 software database only if it supports specific connection type(s) in the
appliance. Enable the checkboxes for the specific connection types.

2. Click the Merge Target Devices icon or link. The Merge Target Devices Wizard will appear.
Click Next.
3. The Select Target Devices to Merge window will open. The selected target device will be listed
in the Target Devices to Merge list.
• To add one or more target devices to the merge list, select the target device(s) in the
Available Target Devices list, then click Add. The target devices will be moved to the
Target Devices to Merge list.
• To remove one or more target devices from the merge list, select the target device(s) from
the Target Devices to Merge list, then click Remove. The target devices will be moved to
the Available Target Devices list.
• To merge target devices in a particular order, select one or more target devices in the
Target Devices to Merge list and use the up and down arrows to move the selected target
devices up or down in the listing. Once the order has been specified, select Merge missing
properties to the target device based on the order of the devices in the “Target Devices to
Merge” list.
The merged target devices will contain the name of the first target device in the Target
Device to Merge list. For example, if you are merging two target devices named TD1 and
TD2, and TD2 is listed before TD1, the merged target device will be named TD2.
