Version Control status icons
NOTE: Click a Software Status icon to access the HP Version Control Agent (VCA). If the VCA cannot
be accessed, help displays that describes how to configure the VCA or trust relationship on that system.
NOTE: There is a Software Status icon for every server except HP-UX.
Version Control status
The status is based on comparing the installed versions against versions in the repository .
StatusIcon
There are different reasons why an Unknown status icon might
display:
• The VCA does not have an HP Version Control Repository
Manager (VCRM) configured.
• The configured VCRM is not reachable or does not respond
to HTTP requests (for example, the system or service is down
or the password has been changed).
• An VCA cannot be detected on the system or cannot
communicate with the VCA.
Status values when no Reference Support Pack is set
Note: The status is that of the latest version of the component in the configured repository.
