Obtaining Online Help

When you expand Tools and click Online Help in the far left panel in the GUI, the Group Manager online help appears in a separate window, providing you with topic-oriented help on every aspect of managing a group using the GUI and CLI.

By default, the online help is launched from a directory that reflects the PS Series firmware version, such as the following:

www.psonlinehelp.equallogic.com/V3.3

The Group Manager online help files are also located on the CD-ROM shipped with each PS Series array.

If desired, you can change the default online help location to a local network. Follow these steps:

1. Add the group IP address to the list of trusted sites, if necessary. Depending on the version of Java running on the local system (for example, Java 1.4.2), to access the online help from a local directory, you may need to add the group IP address to the system’s list of trusted sites in Internet Explorer:
1. Launch Internet Explorer and under Tools, select Internet Options.
2. Select the Security tab and click Trusted Sites and then the Sites button.
3. In the Trusted Sites window, enter the group IP address in the Add this Web site to the zone field using this format:
   
   http://group_ip_address
   
   Do not select Require server verification (https:) for all sites in this zone, which appears at the bottom of the Trusted Sites window.
4. Click Add.
2. Copy the groupmanagerhelp directory from the product CD-ROM to a network drive accessible to all systems that will be using the GUI online help.
3. Open the GUI (enter the group IP address in a browser) and click:
   
   Tools > User Preferences > General tab
   
   The User Preferences General dialog box appears (Figure 3: User Preferences – General ). In the Location of online help files field, enter the help directory location and click OK. For example, to enter a network location:
   
   file:///system.directory.company.com/share/groupmanagerhelp
   
   You can also put the online help files on a computer connected to your network, navigate to that directory using a browser, and enter groupmanager.htm in the browser’s address field.
