What does the tool tip say when it displays "?" Is there any security trust related issue?
Try running software status polling task.

Swstatus:Unknown : VC agent not configured

i ran the polling already several times and in some cases the status becomes green. after a time the status becomes again '?'
for some servers it stays '?'.

when i click on the "?" i get in the page of the version control where i can see which drivers/firmwares are installed and which are the latest one. so my agent is correctly configured

Anyone can help?

In HPSIM, go to Options->Version Control Repository... and select the VCRM running on your network and then click on OK. After doing this, run SW status polling task on all the systems...You should get the SW status updated.

I also have this issue sometimes. Usually in our case, it is a corrupted certificate. I log into the server homepage, remove the certificate, and reimport. Then I run a software poll and get the green arrow.
