HP Integrity rx4640 Server - Manual (Page 7)

2 Getting started
To start using the HP Version Control Repository Manager (VCRM) and the HP Version Control
Agent (VCA), use the following steps as a guideline for installing and configuring your machines
properly:
1. Verify that your system meets minimum requirements. For more information regarding
minimum requirements, refer to the Version Control Installation Guide.
2. Install and configure the SMH. For more information regarding the SMH, refer to the System
Management Homepage Installation Guide.
3. Install and configure the VCRM with an HP ProLiant and Integrity Support Pack on a machine
accessible from the server where you are installing the VCA. One VCRM can support many
VCAs, so in most cases, you need only one repository. However, multiple repositories might
be required for large or widely dispersed enterprises.
4. Install and configure the VCA on the target system. Installing the VCRM before installing
the VCA enables you to configure the VCA to use data in the repository specified from the
Change the Agent Settings
link in the VCA. For more information regarding installing
the VCRM, refer to the Version Control Installation Guide.
5. Browse to the System Management Homepage (SMH) located at https://hostname:2381
to log in.
6. Configure the VCA to use data provided by the repository defined by the Change the Agent
Settings
link.
