Appliance configuration templates allow administrators to simultaneously configure multiple units from the DSView 3 software. An appliance configuration template may be used to configure new units or to replace existing units. For more information about appliance configuration templates, see the DSView 3 help (keywords: configuration templates). Each unit type may support a different set of properties; the MergePoint Unity switch appliance configuration templates support the following properties. These properties are applied to a MergePoint Unity switch when the Appliance Replacement, Apply Configuration Template, Apply Last Know Good Configuration Template or Apply Current Configuration Template operations are executed.
