The Select Resync Options window in the Resync Wizard allows you to specify certain topology synchronization options.
• Remove offline connections
• Delete target devices that no longer have connections • Merge target device names
• Default target names allowed for connection types
This window is described inResynchronizing unitson page 356. Each of these options has a default value, which you may change. To change the default values of the options in the Resync Wizard: 1. Click theSystemtab.
2. ClickGlobal Propertiesin the top navigation bar.
3. ClickWizard Defaultsin the side navigation bar, then clickResync Wizard. 4. The Resync Wizard Default Options window will open.
• If you enable theRemove offline connectionscheckbox, by default, any appliance connections that are reported as offline in the appliance will be deleted from the DSView 3 software database. The Resync Wizard does not add offline connections to the DSView 3 software database.
• If you enable theDelete target devices that no longer have connectionscheckbox, by default, any target devices that no longer have connections are permanently deleted from the DSView 3 software database.
• If you enable theAllow target devices with the same name to be merged into a single target devicecheckbox, 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.

Merging target devices
Merging target devices may be necessary if a target device is connected to one or more managed appliances. For example, if a target device is connected to both a DSR switch and an ACS console server, this tool will merge the target devices (that were created when the managed appliances were added) into a single target device that contains all of the target actions.
You may also merge target devices from a Unit Tools window, seeMerging target deviceson page 348.
To merge target devices from a Units View window:
1. In a Units View window containing target devices (seeAccessing Units View windowson page 116), click on the target device name. The Unit Overview window will open. 2. Click theMerge Target Devicesicon or link. The Merge Target Devices Wizard will
appear.
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 clickAdd. 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 clickRemove. 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.
ClickNext.
4. The Confirm Target Device Merge window will open. ClickNextto confirm merging the connection paths into the specified destination target device. SeeConnections to Unitson page 205.
5. The Completed Successful window will open. 6. ClickFinish.
To merge target devices from a Units View window:
1. In a Units View window containing target devices (seeAccessing Units View windowson page 116), select the checkbox next to the target devices that you want to merge.
2. From the Operations menu, selectMerge Target Devices. The Merge Target Devices window opens.
3. Select the target devices to be merged from the Available Targets 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. The Connection Path(s) list displays the appliance and the specified destination target device.
4. (Optional) 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, selectMerge missing properties to the target device based on the order of the devices in the “Target Devices to Merge” list.
5. ClickMerge.
