The HP Version Control Repository Manager is a directory of software that is available for installation. Configuring the Version Control Repository Manager enables the HP Version Control Agent to monitor the software contained in that repository.

To change the agent settings:

  1. Select the Home tab. The Home page appears.

  2. Click Change Agent Settings. The Select the Version Control Repository Manager page appears.

    1. In the Computer Name field, enter the name of a computer with a Version Control Repository Manager installed. Specifying the name of a computer with a Version Control Repository Manager installed allows a more detailed software inventory to be generated and provides a way to update HP software on the system.

    2. In the Login Account field, enter a login that has the appropriate security level for the System Management Homepage on the specified system. The type of account, account name and password depend on whether the System Management Homepage or Management HTTP Server is installed at the system specified in the previous step. This account must have Operator or Administrator level at the Version Control Repository Manager system, so it is recommended that you use a browser to verify the login account and password before entering it.

      Note: You must enter the administrator or operator account defined in the System Management Homepage and provide the appropriate password for the Version Control Agent to download software from the Version Control Repository Manager. If anonymous access is disabled at the Version Control Repository Manager, you must enter at least an account with user privileges and provide the appropriate password for the Version Control Agent to provide software status by comparing the inventory with what is available at the Version Control Repository Manager.

    3. In the Password field, enter the appropriate password for the login account that you selected in the Login Account field.

  3. Click [Next] to continue. The Select the Reference Support Pack page appears. Click [Reset] to clear the settings you just specified or [Cancel] to abort the changes.

    Note: If the Version Control Repository Manager cannot be accessed, an error message appears, and you are returned to the HP Version Control Agent Change Agent Settings page to reenter the settings.

    • In the Select the Reference Support Pack field, select the name of an HP ProLiant and Integrity Support Pack from the dropdown menu to use as the default reference for the Support Pack Version column on the Home page. If you changed the Version Control Repository Manager settings and do not want to specify a new Reference Support Pack, you can click [Finish] without specifying a new Reference Support Pack.

    • Select When checked, software status is based on installed software’s version matching exactly that software’s version in the Reference Support Pack to alert you if software versions do not match.

      Note: If no Reference Support Pack was previously configured or the configured ProLiant and Integrity Support Pack does not exist, the Reference Support Pack field displays (No Selection).

  4. Click [Reset] to clear the changes and return to the previous settings, [Cancel] to discard the changes and retain the original settings, or [Finish] to save your changes. The updated configuration appears on the Current Settings page.

  5. Click [Close] to return to the Home page.

    Note: If you click [Cancel], a Confirm Cancel dialog box appears asking you to confirm your intention to discard the changes and retain the original settings. Click [No] to return to the Current Settings page or [Yes] to discard the changes, retain the original settings, and return to the Home page.
