Viewing overall software status
The Overall Status icon is not displayed until an HP Version Control Repository Manager (VCRM)
has been configured using the Change Agent Settings link. After a repository has been configured,
the Overall Software Status icon is based on a comparison between the installed software or
firmware versions and newest components available from the configured VCRM. The overall software
status that appears depends on the configuration defined using the Change Agent Settings link.
On Windows operating systems, you can configure the Overall Software Status to display a
Major status if the server software version does not match the Reference Support Pack version.
When both a repository and Reference Support Pack have been configured, the Overall Software
Status icon is based on a comparison between the installed software or firmware versions and
the software or firmware versions in the Reference Support Pack.
For more information regarding the Software Status icons, refer to "Viewing overall software
status icons".
Important:
Software status is based on a comparison of installed software against what is
available in the repository. If there are no comparable items in the repository, the
status is considered current. You can configure software status to display critical
when the server software version does not match the Reference Support Pack version
using the Change Agent Settings link.
To view overall software status, click the Home tab. The Home page appears.
