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.

For more information about version control tools, see the HP Systems Insight Manager User Guide, the HP
Version Control Agent User Guide
