Version Control
HP Version Control Repository Manager (HP VCRM) and HP Version Control Agent (HP VCA) are web-enabled
HP Insight Management Agents. HP SIM uses these Insight Management Agent and others to facilitate
Software Update and tasks related to it.
In general, HP Insight Management Agents 4.0 and later are web enabled, and they provide in-depth
subsystem status and fault information on servers, workstations, desktops, and notebooks, communicating
directly with HP SIM when they are launched. Web-enabled agents are accessible through a browser or
through HP SIM.
HP SIM provides the following version control tools:
• Install Software and Firmware. Select Deploy→Deploy Drivers, Firmware and Agents→Install
Software and Firmware.

Agents→Initial HP ProLiant Support Pack Install.
