C Enabling off-appliance browsing of UI and REST API HTML
help files
This chapter helps you gain access to the appliance UI help or REST API help before you have
installed the appliance.
C.1 Enabling off-appliance browsing of UI and REST API HTML help files
To enable your users and developers to browse the HP OneView help and HP OneView REST API
Reference locally on their own computer or from a local web server, download the
hp-oneview-help.zip file from the HP OneView Information Library.

REST API scripts or other users that prefer the convenience of accessing help without logging in to
the appliance.
