Viewing overall software status

The Overall Software Status icon is not displayed until an

HP Version Control Repository Manager

(VCRM)

has been configured using the Change Settings link. After a

repository

has been configured, the

Overall

Software Status

icon is based on a comparison between the installed software or firmware versions and

newest

component

s available from the configured VCRM. The

overall software status

that appears depends

on the configuration defined using the Change Settings link. You can configure the Overall Software
Status

to display a Major status if the server software version does not match the

Reference Support Pack

version. When both a repository and Reference Support Pack have been configured, the Overall Software
Status

icon is based on a comparison between the installed software or firmware versions and the software

or firmware versions in the Reference Support Pack.

For more information regarding the Software Status icons, refer to

“Viewing overall software status icons”

.

NOTE:

If any custom software baseline is set as the reference support pack and the complete software in

the custom software baseline is not available in the Installed Software list, then the uninstalled softwares will
be listed in Not Installed list, and the overall status changes to Major only when the When checked, force
VCA to consider all the components in reference support for software status calculation and report
items that are not installed

checkbox is selected when configuring a custom software baseline as reference

support pack.

IMPORTANT:

Software status is based on a comparison of installed software against what is available in

the repository. You can configure software status to display

Major when the server software version does

not match the Reference Support Pack version using the Change Settings link. If there are no comparable
items in the repository, the status is considered

current.

There are different reasons why an Unknown status icon might
display:
• The VCA does not have an

HP Version Control Repository

Manager

(VCRM) configured.

• The configured VCRM is not reachable or does not respond

to HTTP requests, for example, the system or service is down
or the password has been changed.

• A VCA cannot be detected on the system or cannot

communicate with the VCA.

Status Values When no Reference Support Pack is Set
