Using the PCM Server for Switch Web Help

For ProCurve devices that support the “Web Help” feature, you can use the

PCM server to host the switch help files for devices that do not have HTTP

access to the ProCurve Support Web site.

1. Go to the ProCurve Support web site to get the Device Help files:

http://www.hp.com//rnd/device_help/

2. Copy the Web help files to the PCM server, under:

C:\\program files\hewlett-packard\pnm\server\webroot\

rnd\sevice_help\help\hpwnd\webhelp

3. Add an entry, or edit the existing entry in the Discovery portion of the

global properties (globalprops.prp) in PCM to redirect the switches to the

help files on the PCM server. For example:

Global {

TempDir=data/temp

...

Discovery{

...

DeviceHelpUrlRedirect=http://15.29.37.12.8040/rnd/device_help

...

}

You will enter the IP address for your PCM server. 8040 is the standard port

number to use.

4. Restart the Discovery process for the change to be applied.

Note Changing the Discovery’s Global properties file will redirect the Device Help

URL for all devices.

If you just want to change the Device Help URL for a particular device, then

go to the Configuration tab on the Web UI for that device and select the

“Support/Mgmt URL” button. Edit the entry in the “Management Server URL”

field for the device to point to the PCM server; for example:

http://15.29.37.12.8040/rnd/device_help
