Learn More - Installing the Version Control Agent
In HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM), the software status indicates both the availability of software
updates and how critical they are. If HP Version Control Agent (VCA) is installed on the system, clicking the
software status icon for that system displays HP Version Control Agent Software Inventory page.
To update managed servers with the most current software, HP SIM provides software update capabilities
that use the HP Version Control Agent (VCA) and HP Version Control Repository Manager (VCRM).
For Windows operating systems, you must install the HP Insight Management Agent 5.40 or later to obtain
any inventory data. For Linux operating systems, you must install HP Server Management Application and
Agents (hpasm RPM) 7.00 or later to obtain any inventory data. HP recommends installing the current version
that is in the same HP ProLiant and Integrity Support Pack as the VCA.
