Effect
If the target device in the DSView 3 software database has a single appliance
connection, the target device name will be pushed to the appliance.
If the target device in the DSView 3 software database has multiple appliance
connections, the target device name will be pushed to the appliance for each
appliance connection (for connection type(s) enabled in the Automatic Name Push
Properties window).
If the cascade switch in the DSView 3 software database has a single appliance
connection, the name will be pulled from the appliance to update the cascade switch
name in the DSView 3 software database.
If the cascade switch in the DSView 3 software database has multiple appliance
connections to the same appliance (a multiuser cascade switch), the cascade switch
name will be pulled from the appliance connection with the lowest port number to
update the cascade switch in the DSView 3 software database. (Multiuser cascade
switches are treated as separate cascade switches by the appliance.)
