# HPE OneView Help

HPE OneView—a virtual appliance that runs on a virtual machine (VM) host – enables you to comprehensively manage a converged data center throughout the hardware lifecycle. HPE OneView makes it possible to easily monitor, configure, and manage physical and logical compute resources through either a graphical user interface or by using REST (REpresentational State Transfer) APIs.

HPE OneView relies on a resource model that reduces complexity and simplifies the provisioning, management, and monitoring of your data center. This model includes logical resources—enclosures, interconnects, server profiles, templates, and groups—that, when applied to corresponding physical resources, provide flexible, repeatable configurations for use in your data center.

## What kind of help is available?

The HPE OneView Help explains resource configuration and management concepts, how to perform tasks to manage and monitor your hardware environment, and how to troubleshoot problems you might encounter during the life of your data center components.

The help system is designed so that each resource is documented in its own chapter. The top of each help chapter contains a navigation box which directs you to:

- Tasks you can perform with the user interface

- “About” topics that provide conceptual background information to help you make decisions when configuring and managing resources

- A resource screen details section, which defines field labels and values to assist you in entering data and using the user interface

- Links to more information

- Troubleshooting information should you encounter a problem
