Click a Software Status icon to access the HP Version Control Agent. If the Version Control Agent cannot be accessed, help displays describing how to configure the Version Control Agent or trust relationship on that system.

There is a Software Status icon for every system except HP-UX.

The status is based on comparing the installed versions against versions in the repository.

  • unknown icon Unknown. There are different reasons why an Unknown status icon might display:

    • The Version Control Agent does not have a HP Version Control Repository Manager configured.

    • The configured Version Control Repository Manager is not reachable or does not respond to HTTP requests, for example, the system or service is down or the password has been changed.

Status Values When no Reference Support Pack is Set

  • Normal icon Normal. The installed software versions are the same or newer than the latest versions available at the Version Control Repository Manager.

  • 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.

Status Values When a Reference Support Pack is Set but the Exact Match Setting is Not Selected

  • unknown icon Unknown. The Reference Support Pack configured at the Version Control Agent is no longer valid at the configured Version Control Repository Manager.

  • Normal icon Normal. The installed software versions are the same or newer than the versions in the Reference Support Pack.

  • 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.

Status Values When a Reference Support Pack is Set and the Exact Match is Selected

  • unknown icon Unknown. The Reference Support Pack configured at the Version Control Agent is no longer valid at the configured Version Control Repository Manager.

  • Normal icon Normal. The installed software versions are the same or newer than the versions in the Reference Support Pack.

  • Major icon Major. The installed version does not match the version of the same item in the Reference Support Pack, and the Version Control Agent settings specify that an exact match is expected.

When the overall software status indicates that an item is not current, identify the software or firmware items that have available updates, read the item descriptions, and determine whether the update is appropriate for the server.

In the event a repository has been configured and a Reference Support Pack has not, the status is based on a comparison between the installed software or firmware versions and the newest components available from the configured repository.

In the event a repository and Reference Support Pack have been configured, the status is based on a comparison between the installed software or firmware versions and the software or firmware versions in the Reference Support Pack.
