For software versioning and updating, HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM) relies on the VCRM and the VCA. By using these applications, HP SIM provides a single view of the software status for all managed ProLiant or Integrity servers, plus the capability to 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 those systems that require an update.

To take full advantage of the software update capabilities of HP SIM, ensure that:

  • 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 update all repositories with the latest software from HP automatically
