About integration
For software versioning and updating, Systems Insight Manager relies on VCRM and VCA. By using these
applications, Systems Insight Manager provides a single view of the software status for managed ProLiant
or Integrity servers, and it can update software and firmware on those servers through its powerful query
and task features. Updates can be scheduled and applied to specific sets of servers based on predetermined
criteria, including applying updates only to systems that require an update.
To take full advantage of the software update capabilities of Systems Insight Manager, verify that the following
conditions are met:
Every managed target server on the network has the VCA installed and is configured to use a repository.
Every repository that is to be used has the VCRM installed.
You can optionally use the automatic update feature of the VCRM to automatically update all repositories
with the latest software from HP.
About software repositories
Updating ProLiant Support Packs and components using VCRM from a single or multiple repositories saves
time and is key to standardizing software maintenance and update procedures on distributed
systems
.
For maximum manageability and flexibility across operating system platforms, each repository you create
must conform to the following conditions:
It must be located on a local drive with write access.
It must be updated automatically by the VCRM.
It must be managed by VCRM.
After a repository is created, it must be populated with ProLiant Support Packs and components before being
updated on target HP systems. Although it is optional, the easiest and most efficient way to update a repository
