Installing Software and Firmware
To update managed servers with the most current software, HP SIM provides software update capabilities
that use the HP VCA and HP VCRM .
Automated software updates through HP SIM have the following restrictions:
• Updates can be performed only on ProLiant servers that have HP VCA installed and trust the HP SIM
server. You can use the Install Software and Firmware feature only with third-party systems running HP
VCA.
Note: For information regarding trust relationships, see “Trusted certificates”. After a trust relationship
is established, click Last Update to update the display to trusted.
• Updates require HP ProLiant Support Pack or components, v5.3 or later. The Install Software and
Firmware feature does not support third-party software.

operating systems.
