Customizing Unit Views windows
By default, the following fields appear in the Unit Views windows:
• Name - Unit names. You may click on a name to display and change information or specify an
icon to associate with a unit. See Managing Units on page 86 for information.
• Type - Type of target device or managed appliance model. See Changing Unit Overview Infor-
mation on page 86 for information about assigning a type to a target device.
• Status - Current activity level of a unit. The following status IDs may display for units:
• Idle - The unit is powered up with no connection.
• In Use - The unit has at least one active connection.
• Status Unknown - The status of the unit was reported to the software but cannot be
obtained for an unknown reason.
The following status IDs may display for target devices only:
• No Power - The target device is powered down.
• KVM Blocked - The connection path to the target device is blocked because a cascade
switch is already in use.
• Partial Power - The DSView software cannot determine the power state of the target
device, or the software received a mixed power state from the target device. For example,
if a target device has a KVM connection and an SPC connection, the software will prompt
for a power status for both of these connections. If both connections do not reply with ON
or OFF, the power status will display as Partial Power.
The Not Responding status ID may display for managed appliances only. In this case, the
managed appliance did not provide status information. This may occur for multiple reasons,
such as the appliance is not powered up or it is disconnected from the DSView
software system.
