b. Select Allow Target Devices to be added for nodes that have a default name to allow
target devices to be added to your DSView 3 software system for nodes in the DSView 2.x
software migration file that have default names. In DSView 2.x software, a default name
is considered to be a name such as Port 1, Channel 1 and Socket 1.
All default names are adjusted when they are imported to include the name of each CPS
appliance, DS1800 digital switch and DSR switch.
c. Select Allow nodes with the same name to be merged into the same target device if you
wish to merge a target device that has multiple connections into a single target device. For
example, a target device may be connected to a both a DSR switch and a power device.
d. Select Add Active Directory authentication services instead of NT authentication services
when Active Directory is detected to add an Active Directory service when an Active
Directory domain is detected in the DSView 2.x software database migration file. If this
option is not selected, the service will be added to the DSView 3 software system as a
Windows NT Domain service.
e. Type the case-insensitive names of any DSView 2.x software database nodes that you do
not wish to import, separated by commas (,), in the Node Names to Ignore field. Any
children within the parent nodes listed in the field are also ignored (that is, not imported).
You may import a node containing a comma on its name by enclosing the node name in
quotation marks. For example, to import a node named node, two (containing a comma)
and a node named nodeone, type
“node,two”,nodeone in the Node Names to
Ignore field.
f. Click Next.
4. The Import in Progress window will open, displaying the current step being performed, as the
DSView 2.x software database is importing. When the import completes, the Completed
Successful window will open with a summary of the import, including the number of
authentication services, users, user groups, units and unit groups added.
5. Click Finish. The Units Tools window will open.
After running the Import DSView 2.x Database tool
Units requiring migration will contain Migration Needed in the Migration Status field of Units
View windows.
Although the managed appliances have been imported from the DSView 2.x software database into
the DSView 3 software system, they are not yet compatible with the DSView 3 software. To
complete the configuration and update the firmware on each type of managed appliance, you must
use the Migrate Units task. See Task: Migrating units on page 299.
Importing data
You can use the Import Data Wizard to migrate data from the AlterPath
®
Manager to the DSView
3 software. First, you will need to export the data from the AlterPath Manager into an XML format
that is recognized by DSView 3 software. See the AlterPath Manager Data Migration Technical
Bulletin for more information.
