1 Updates and notes IMPORTANT: HP is phasing out the HP Vulnerability and Patch Manager software (VPM) from Insight Control.

HP Insight Control licenses include 1 year of Technical Support & Update, which you can upgrade to 3, 4, or 5 years.
• Issue: Patch acquisitions can generate events containing HTTP 300 errors for some older Microsoft® patches. Description: For example: Error downloading patch data for Bulletin MS02-050 at URL http://www.microsoft.com/ntserver/terminalserver/downloads/critical/q329115/default.asp error code 300 Solution: HP is working to correct the metadata for these older patches. However, this maintenance is ongoing.
• Issue: If the patch repository is viewed before a patch acquisition is performed, a generic Radia internal error appears in the HP SIM event log. Solution: Wait until you get an event called “Completed VPM Acquisition” in All VPM Events list. Then, view patch repository. • Issue: Resolutions for some fixable vulnerabilities cause the local security policy to log more events.
Solution: To resolve this issue, stop the WMI and SNMP services, delete the Radia folder. Start the WMI and SNMP services again, and then perform another installation. • Issue: After licensing the target system from the Scan for vulnerability task, the Next button might not be enabled. Solution: To resolve this issue, refresh the screen, and then click Next. • Issue: The Vulnerability and Patch Manager Patch Agent is not installed on the target system when you perform the Scan for vulnerability task.
