HP Systems Insight Manager - Manual (Page 6)

2 Getting started
To start using the HP Version Control Repository Manager (HP VCRM), use the following steps as
a guideline for installing and configuring your machines properly:
The recommended installation for the HP VCRM is on a single system that has a reliable,
high-performance network connection between it and all managed systems that have the Version
Control Agent installed. If the Auto Update feature is being used, that system must have Internet
access.
1.
Verify that your system meets minimum requirements.
2. Install and configure the HP SMH. For more information regarding the System Management
Homepage (HP SMH), refer to the HP System Management Homepage Installation and
Configuration Guide.
3. Install and configure the HP VCRM on your selected system.
4. Install and configure the HP VCA on the target systems. Installing the HP VCRM before installing
the HP VCA enables you to configure the HP VCA to use data in the repository specified by
way of the Change Settings link in the HP VCA, a Replicate Agent Settings task in
HP Systems
Insight Manager (HP SIM), or preconfiguring the HP VCA component and installing the
component with the preconfigured settings. For more information regarding installing the HP
VCRM, refer to the
http://h18013.www1.hp.com/products/servers/management/agents/
documentation.html .
