The Installed Software section displays software and firmware versions.

If the HP Version Control Agent options have not been set, only the Installed Version column displays the software or firmware versions currently installed on the agent system.

After a HP Version Control Repository Manager has been configured using the Change Agent Settings link, the Latest Version column appears. The Latest Version column displays the newest available version of the component in the configured repository. Click any version number in the Latest Version column to link to a description of that version stored in the repository.

The Support Pack Version column is not shown if a Reference Support Pack has not been defined using the Change Agent Settings link. After a Version Control Repository Manager and the Reference Support Pack have been configured using the Change Agent Settings link, both the Support Pack Version and the Latest Version columns are listed. The Support Pack Version column displays the component version of software or firmware that is part of the configured Reference Support Pack. Click any version number in the Support Pack Version column to link to a description of that version stored in the repository.

Status icons for installed software have the following meanings:

  • Normal icon Normal. The installed software version is equal or greater than this version.

  • Minor icon Minor. This update might contain bug fixes or new hardware support. HP recommends that you review information about this version and apply this update appropriately.

  • Major icon Major. This update contains critical bug fixes. HP requires that you apply this update at your earliest convenience.

The Version Control Agent uses data collected by the HP Insight Management Agent for the Installed Software section. Always install the latest version of the HP Insight Management Agents to ensure that the most reliable data is presented. If the HP Insight Management Agents are not installed, the Version Control Agent cannot provide local inventory data. If a Version Control Repository Manager has been configured, it can install software from that repository.

The Overall Software Status appears depending on the configuration assigned by the Changing Agent Settings feature.

The Install icon is disabled if you are not logged in with System Management Homepage's Operator or Administrator privileges.

If an installed software or firmware item does not have any version available in the configured repository, it will not have an entry in the Support Pack or Latest Version columns. That item will not have a status icon but is considered current when determining the Overall Software Status.
