Software for ProLiant Manual

Deleting items from the repository

The

HP Version Control Repository Manager

(VCRM) enables you to delete selected

Custom Software

Baselines

HP ProLiant and Integrity Support Packs

, and

components

CAUTION: Deleting a ProLiant and Integrity Support Pack or component is irreversible. Use this feature

with caution. If you delete a file and want to recover it, you must use one of the manual methods to restore

the component or ProLiant and Integrity Support Pack to the repository.

CAUTION: The same file can appear in the catalog in multiple places if the component is applicable in

more than one operating system or product family. Deleting any instance of the item from the catalog removes

all occurrences because the underlying file is deleted.

NOTE: Deleting components or ProLiant and Integrity Support Packs erases the associated files from the

repository directory. If you want to remove items from the VCRM catalog without deleting the files, first copy

the files to a directory not managed by the VCRM.

NOTE: If you have the automatic download feature enabled and you delete files directly in the file system,

they are downloaded again, so always delete them using the VCRM.
