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.
• A user with User rights to a DS1800 digital switch, CPS appliance or DSR switch in the
DSView 2.x software will not be assigned any access rights in the DSView 3 software.
• A user with Admin rights to a DS1800 digital switch, CPS appliance or DSR switch in the
DSView 2.x software will be assigned the Reboot Appliance, Flash Upgrade Appliance
and Configure Appliance Settings access rights in the DSView 3 software.
• Cascade switch types in the DSView 2.x software database cannot be determined during the
import process and are added as Generic 1 x <n> switches, based on the number of found
switch channels. After importing the DSView 2.x software database and running the Migrate
DSView 2.X Units task, you may run the Resync Wizard on individual CPS appliances,
DS1800 digital switches and DSR switches to specify switch types and merge multiuser
switches. See Resynchronizing managed appliances on page 267.
• Internal users and built-in user groups with DSView 2.x software permissions residing on the
computer that ran the DSAuth server will be imported into the DSView 3 software system. An
external NT authentication service with the same name as the DSAuth server will be added to
the DSView 3 software system. The DSView 2.x software users and user groups will be
associated with the authentication service added to the DSView 3 software system.
• The DSView 2.x software Everyone user group cannot be imported into DSView 3
software systems.
