Version Control
The HP Version Control Repository Manager (VCRM) and HP Version Control Agent (VCA) are web-enabled
HP Insight Management Agents. HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM) uses these Insight Management Agent
and others to facilitate Software Update and tasks related to it.

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 directly 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.
