Version Control Installation Guide

7. Change the configuration of the VCAs that are already installed. There are several ways to change the
configuration, including:
a. HP SIM users should use Replicate Agent Settings to configure one VCA to the account and
password previously created in step 3, and then deploy that configuration to all installed VCAs.
Note: This is the lowest impact solution, and it does not cause a reboot or restart of the affected
systems.
b. Pre-configure a VCA component using the VCRM, and use HP SIM or HP Insight Manager 7 to
create a software deployment task to deploy this component.
If you choose to deploy the VCA from the 7.20 ProLiant Support Pack, you must deploy the SMH
component before the VCA can install.
Note: This method causes a reboot of the Windows systems where the VCA is upgraded, since it
is being used to upgrade itself.
c. Use the HP Smart Update Manager Utility to pre-configure a VCA for Windows component. If
you choose the VCA from the 7.20 ProLiant Support Pack or Integrity Support Pack 3.20, you must
deploy the SMH component before the VCA can install.
8. Verify that the settings are correct and functioning by browsing to one of the systems where an updated
VCA is installed, and confirming the software status is accurate. If you are an HP SIM or HP Insight
Manager 7 user, run the Software Status Polling task to display updated status.
NOTE: You cannot use this procedure on Windows Server 2008.
