Version control
The VCRM and VCA are web-enabled Insight Management Agents tools that HP SIM uses to schedule
software update tasks to the entire enterprise.
•
VCRM manages the repository for SPP. Administrators can view the SPP contents or configure VCRM to
automatically update the repository with internet downloads of the latest software and firmware from
HP.
•
VCA compares installed software versions on the node with updates available in the VCRM managed
repository. Administrators configure VCA to point to a repository managed by VCRM.
