Welcome to the Hitachi Storage Navigator Modular Graphical User Interface (GUI) Online Help System This information is intended to support administrators responsible for understanding, configuring, and maintaining the Hitachi TagmaStore® Adaptable Modular Storage and Workgroup Modular Storage storage systems. This help system provides descriptions of each window, tab, and dialog box in the Navigator 2 GUI and provides explanations on how to use the product. It also serves as a reference for administrators to use while updating or maintaining the system.
This online help system provides two types of online information for each window, tab, and dialog box in the Navigator 2 GUI:
Context sensitive help, which is a brief explanation about the Navigator 2 GUI window, screen, or tab from which you invoked the help. Each explanation is designed to quickly answer the most common questions about that screen, and is located at the top of the help screen that is displayed.
Note: When you click Help, if the Welcome help page is displayed instead of the help for the screen, the HTML file containing the help for the Navigator 2 GUI screen is corrupt or missing. Please notify your Navigator 2 system administrator.
Detailed descriptions and explanations of each feature of the window, screen, or tab. Explanations of how to use them are located in the help window described above, and follow the basic information. The help window may also contain links to additional and/or related information about the topics covered in the help window.
Hitachi Data Systems recommends viewing this System Reference Guide with Internet Explorer, version 6.0 or later, or with Netscape Navigator release 6 or later on a Microsoft Windows™ based PC. Viewing this document under other configurations may produce undesirable results.
When using Internet Explorer, if this Online Help System or any of the HTML help pages take approximately 30 seconds to load and display, follow the instructions below to disable DDE in Internet Explorer. This corrects the problem.
Note: This procedure is not required when using Netscape, or if using Netscape and then using Internet Explorer afterward, as long as you do not use the Internet Explorer default settings. This is because Netscape automatically disables DDE.

To access the context-sensitive help, click the HELP icon in the Navigator 2 window or tab to display the online help for the tab or window you currently have open.
To access the detailed information, either click one of the topic links at the top of the page, or scroll down the window to the information of interest.
To access the entire online help system, from any help screen, click Show in the upper left corner of the help window. This opens the navigation pane, which contains four tabs:
Table of Contents. This tab contains an organized set of links to the topics in the online reference. Each main topic is marked with a book symbol and represents a set of topics as would be included in a chapter in a manual. Click the book symbol to expand the list of topics, which you can then access individually.
Index. This tab contains a set of words or phrases that are links to the locations in the online reference where they are used or explained. Scroll through the index and click the word or phrase of interest to display the topic where it is used. (NOTE: Index is under construction, will be provided later.)
Search. This tab provides the input to a search engine that finds the locations in the online reference where the search string is used. In the Navigation pane, select the Search tab and enter a string that is appropriate for the search, then click "Go." The help system will display the topic that the search string is located in, but will not take you to the place in the topic where the string is. To locate the exact place in the topic, click anywhere on the topic page and enter Ctrl-F. This opens a local Find dialog box. In that box, enter the search string and click OK.
To print a topic in this online help system, click the printer icon in the title bar of the help topic, or select File > Print. Because the topics are individual HTML files, it is not possible to print the entire online help system as a unit.
