HP Version Control Agent 6.2 User Guide

Automatic Reboot. Enables the
HP Version Control Agent
(VCA) to automatically reboot the
system if the installation requires a reboot when finished. In the case of a ProLiant and Integrity
Support Pack installation, this event occurs after all component installations complete without error.
If any component installation returns an error result, the reboot will not occur. Inspect the
VCA Log
after an installation error to determine whether the system must be restarted. If you do not select
Automatic Reboot, look at the log to determine if a reboot is needed. If the log indicates a reboot
is required, manually reboot the server for the installations to complete.
Important: When a task completes, be sure to read the details in the log to determine whether a
reboot is required.
Select the Continue checkbox.
NOTE: Proceed with Installation checkbox is available on TPM-enabled systems running on
Windows operating systems only.
5. Click Install to begin the installation or Cancel to abort the installation and return to the Home page.
Note: All components are downloaded before installation begins. An error in the download process
causes the installation to fail, and no component installations occur. An error in the installation of a
single component does not stop the installation of the rest of the components from a ProLiant and Integrity
Support Pack, but it does prevent an automatic reboot from occurring. In Windows, if an installation of
a single component does not complete within 15 minutes, a timeout occurs and the component installation
is terminated.
Note: Only one installation task can progress at a time. Clicking the Install icon while another installation
is in progress redirects you to the Log page for status of the current installation in progress.
