the previous step. This account must have Operator or Administrator level at the VCRM
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 SMH and
provide the appropriate password for the VCA to download software from the VCRM. If
anonymous access is disabled at the VCRM, you must enter at least an account with user
privileges and provide the appropriate password for the VCA to provide software status
by comparing the inventory with what is available at the VCRM.

For Windows XP Service Pack 2 or Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1, you might be
unable to access the VCRM because Windows XP Service Pack 2 and Windows Server
2003 Service Pack 1implements 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.

To configure the firewall exceptions:

a.

Select Start->Settings->Control Panel.

b.

Double-click Windows Firewall to configure the firewall settings.

c.

Select Exceptions.

Click OK to save your settings and close the Add a Port dialog box.

f.

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.

c.

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