and monitoring tasks from the CMS windows.
Online help is available for features that are supported by devices in your cluster. Sometimes the
information in a topic differs for different cluster members. In these cases, the right pane contains all the
versions of the topic, each labeled with the host names of the members it applies to.

Configuration Modes
You can change the CMS interaction mode to either expert or guide mode. Expert mode displays a
configuration window in which you configure the feature options. Guide mode takes you through each
feature option and provides information about the parameter.
Guide Mode
Guide mode is for users who want a step-by-step approach for completing a specific configuration task.
This mode is not available for all features. A person icon appears next to features that have guide mode
available, as shown in
When you click Guide Mode and then select a feature that supports it, CMS displays a specific
parameter of that feature and information about the parameter. To configure the feature, you enter the
information in each step until you click Finish in the last step. Clicking Cancel at any time ends the
configuration task without applying any changes.
You must click Guide before selecting an option from the menu bar, tool bar, or popup menu to launch
that feature in Guide Mode. If you change the interaction mode after selecting a configuration option,
the mode change does not take effect until you select another configuration option.
