Access the HP Version Control Agent graphical user interface (GUI) from any network client using a web browser. For information about which browsers are supported, refer to the Version Control Installation Guide.

If an HP Version Control Repository Manager has not been configured, only the Software and Firmware Inventory of items currently installed on the system are displayed on the Home page. The Version Control Agent settings must be configured for full functionality.

For Windows operating systems, you must install the HP Insight Management Agent 5.40 or later to obtain any inventory data. For Linux operating systems, you must install HP Server Management Application and Agents (hpasm RPM) 7.00 or later to obtain any inventory data. HP recommends installing the current version that is in the same Support Pack as the Version Control Agent.

If the Insight Management Agents are not installed, software inventory cannot be collected by the Version Control Agent. It can still be used to install software, however.

Login accounts which have Administrator or Operator privileges defined in the System Management Homepage can access all features of the Version Control Agent.

To login to the Version Control Agent:

  1. To access the Version Control Agent with access to all available features, you must login to the System Management Homepage with administrator or operator level access.

  2. Navigate to https://hostname:2381. The Login page is displayed if Anonymous Access is disabled. If Anonymous Access is enabled, the System Management Homepage page is displayed.
