HP ProLiant Gen8 Server with HP iLO Management Engine Setup Guide

Version control
The VCRM and VCA are web-enabled Insight Management Agents tools that HP SIM uses to
schedule software update tasks to the entire enterprise.
• VCRM manages the repository for SPP. Administrators can view the SPP contents or configure
VCRM to automatically update the repository with internet downloads of the latest software
and firmware from HP.
• VCA compares installed software versions on the node with updates available in the VCRM
managed repository. Administrators configure VCA to point to a repository managed by
VCRM.
For more information about version control tools, see the HP Systems Insight Manager User Guide,
the HP Version Control Agent User Guide, and the HP Version Control Repository User Guide on
the HP website (http://www.hp.com/go/insightmanagement/sim/docs).
