SIM v5 VCRM replication

How can I update my remote VCRM internally?

Seems to me that I should be able to have one VCRM that goes to HP to download updates and then configure all of my remote VCRM machines to download from a cental internal VCRM.

If you go to the "catalog" tab of the system that you want to copy from, there is an option to copy from a repository to another one. Either that or you can try and setup your own scriptable task that copies from one server to the other the files inside the repository. The VCRM is suppossed to recognize when the file system of the repository is modified so it knows to do a rescan but if you manually copy files in there you may want to force a rescan to make sure everything gets picked up.

If these are the only options available then a scriptable task will probably work best in my environment. I was leaning towards doing that anyway if HP didn't provide a way to do it.

Do you know if there is a way to force a rescan of the repository from the command line? I would probably need to do this after my sync gets finished.
