Searching the Help
To search for information in the Help, type a word or phrase in the Search box. When you enter a group of words, OR is inferred. You can use Boolean operators to refine your search.
Results returned are case insensitive. However, results ranking takes case into account and assigns higher scores to case matches. Therefore, a search for "cats" followed by a search for "Cats" would return the same number of Help topics, but the order in which the topics are listed would be different.
Search for | Example | Results |
---|---|---|
A single word | cat
|
Topics that contain the word "cat". You will also find its grammatical variations, such as "cats". |
A phrase. You can specify that the search results contain a specific phrase. |
"cat food" (quotation marks) |
Topics that contain the literal phrase "cat food" and all its grammatical variations. Without the quotation marks, the query is equivalent to specifying an OR operator, which finds topics with one of the individual words instead of the phrase. |
Search for | Operator | Example |
---|---|---|
Two or more words in the same topic |
|
|
Either word in a topic |
|
|
Topics that do not contain a specific word or phrase |
|
|
Topics that contain one string and do not contain another | ^ (caret) |
cat ^ mouse
|
A combination of search types | ( ) parentheses |

Accessing servers and devices from SAV
To help you troubleshoot and take action for server and application errors, SAV gives you easy access to servers and devices through the following methods:
Opening the device explorer
To view detailed information about a server or a device (network device) using the Device Explorer, perform the following steps:
SAN switches cannot be opened in the Device Explorer from inside SAV.
- In one of the SAV maps, select one or more servers.
- Right-click and then select Open in Device Explorer to open a Device Explorer in the SA Client for each selected server.
See the SA 10.50 User Guide for information about how to use the Device Explorer in the SA Client.
Opening a remote terminal
The Remote Terminal enables you to log into devices (servers and network devices) and run native commands.
The Open a Remote Terminal feature is not available for VMware ESXi hypervisor servers.
To open a Remote Terminal from SAV:
- In one of the SAV maps, select one or more servers.
- Right-click and then select Open Remote Terminal to open the Select Remote Login window.
- In the Login column, select a login ID from the drop-down list, such as root or LocalSystem, or any of the user logins that might be configured.
- Click OK to open a Remote Terminal for each selection.
See the SA 10.50 User Guide for information about using utilities in a Remote Terminal.
Opening a Global Shell
You can use the Global Shell feature to navigate between servers and connected network devices by tracing their layer 1 connections in the /opsw/Servers/@ and /opsw/Network/@
directories in the OGFS.
In the OGFS, you can also run scripts to perform the following tasks:
- Find servers and network devices.
- Find all servers that are connected to a certain switch.
- Display the network interfaces of a certain server.
- Get the IP addresses of all devices.
- Compare two files to identify changes made, such as what changes were made to a device configuration (.conf) file.
- Change device details, such as the snmp-location.
To launch the Global Shell, perform one of the following tasks:
- From the File Menu, select Global Shell.
- Select the toolbar icon.
See the SA 10.50 User Guide for information about how to use Global Shell.
