The CMS could not reach the HP Version Control Agent on the
system, so the status of the system is unknown.
Informational
The VCA cannot communicate with HP Version Control Repository
Manager (VCRM).
The Unknown status appears for server systems only under the
following circumstances:
• The VCA is not installed on the managed server.
• The VCA is installed on a server, but that server does not have a
trust relationship established with Systems Insight Manager.
• The operating system on the target server is not supported.
Windows and Linux operating systems are supported.
• The correct version of the agent is not on the target system.
• The target server type brand is not supported (only HP or Compaq

• The target system is not licensed for monitoring by the HP Insight
Performance Management Pack (PMP). The target system must
have the Insight Management Agents 6.20 or later installed.
