HP Version Control - No Push Updates?

zakr — Thu, 22 Jun 2006 15:39:31 GMT

I am reading through the documentatation on HP Version Control and SIM 5.0 and it does not appear that it has the capability to push software updates to a group of servers nor can you schedule individual servers to pull updates automatically at a specified time. It appears that any software updates must be manually initiated from each particular system. Am I missing something? Would it be possible to script this kind of update? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Zakr,
You can use the Software Deployment task feature in SIM to push the software updates to a group of servers.
You can refer to the below link for more information:

Good Luck,

Anantha, thank you for your answer. I have read the attached document and still do not see anything about a push deployment. Before posting this question, I read the attached document and many others and I still didn't find any reference to a push deployment of software. Could you point out where in the attached document this is discussed. I would really appreciate it. Thank you.

The information is there in the paper; there just isn't a step-by-step guide to how to deploy the software.

In HP SIM, choose Deploy --> Install Software and Firmware --> Choose the targets --> Choose the baseline or server software to be deployed --> Schedule
