HP Version Control Repository Manager
Access problems
After updating my Windows XP system with Service Pack 2, I am unable to access the HP
Version Control Repository Manager. What happened?
Solution: The Windows XP Service Pack 2 implements a software firewall that prevents browsers
or other clients from accessing the ports required for access to the VCRM. To resolve this issue,
you must configure the firewall with exceptions to allow access through the ports used by HP
SIM, VCA and other VCRMs.
HP recommends the following actions:
1. Select Start
→Settings→Control Panel.
2. Double-click Windows Firewall to configure the firewall settings.
3. Select Exceptions.
4. Click Add Port.
You must enter the product name and the port number.
Add the following exceptions to the firewall protection:
Port Number Product
2301 HP SMH Insecure Port:
2381 HP SMH Secure Port:
Note: For more information regarding HP SIM secure and insecure ports, refer to the HP
SIM User Guide, Troubleshooting, Login Problems section.
5. Click OK to save your settings and close the Add a Port dialog box.
6. Click OK to save your settings and close the Windows Firewall dialog box.
This configuration leaves the default SP2 security enhancements in tact, but will allow traffic
over the ports previously indicated. The secure and insecure ports must be added to enable
proper communication from your browser and other clients that access the VCRM.
Browser problems
When I try to configure a component using the latest ProLiant Support Pack, the component
configuration wizard appears in my Mozilla browser with a screen that has all configuration
screens included in one individual screen. I am unable to save any configuration, and a blank
screen appears in the wizard when I click Save. Why is this happening?
Solution: The component configuration included in ProLiant Support Pack 7.10 and earlier might
not succeed when using the Mozilla browser because there are dependencies contained in the
component's configuration HTML.
To resolve this issue, use Internet Explorer 6.0 SP1 or later, or HP Remote Deployment Utility
to configure components.
The Upload Support Pack task does not work. What is happening?
Solution: The browser settings to download and run ActiveX controls must be enabled for the
Upload ProLiant Support Pack
task to work.
To configure the Microsoft Internet Explorer security settings
1. From the Microsoft Internet Explorer toolbar, click Tools and select Internet Options. The
Internet Options
dialog box appears.
2. Click Custom Level. The Security Settings dialog box appears.
3. Under ActiveX controls and plug-ins, Download signed ActiveX controls, select Enable.
