Resynchronizing units
When a unit changes its configuration, it may not be properly represented in the DSView 3
software system. For example, a target device may be added, removed or moved. Resynchronizing
will update these and other changes made to the unit within the DSView 3 software system.
Resynchronizing will force a check of the entire DSView 3 software system. The process requires a
large amount of time and network bandwidth and should only be performed when necessary.
Alternatively, you may use the automatic topology synchronization feature or synchronize selected
units manually from a Units View window. See Topology Synchronization on page 120.
To resynchronize a unit:
1. In the Unit Overview window, click the Resync icon or link. The Resync Unit Wizard will
appear. Click Next.
2. The Select Resync Options window will open. (For more information about the resync options,
see Topology synchronization options in the Resync Wizard on page122.)
a. Enable the Remove offline connections checkbox to remove from the DSView 3 software
database any connections to target devices that are reported as offline in the appliance.
The Resync Wizard does not add offline connections to the DSView 3 software database.
