HP Storage Server Management console user interface
This section describes issues with the user interface for the HP Storage Server Management console.
HP Storage S erver Management console user inter face
Issue:
While
connected to the HP Storage Ser ver Management console using the web browser method,
an error is shown if the user tries to open a shared folder
Description
While connected using the web browser method (http://machine-name:3201
or https://machine-name:3202), if the user navigates to HP Storage Server
Management > Share Folder Management > Shared Folders, right-clicks on a
shared folder, and selects Open, an error is shown. In addition, the desktop icons,
start menu, and task bar appear on the screen. This is because the action of
opening a shared folder depends on the Windows shell, which is not running by
default while connected through a web browser.
