Typically HPSIM will discover VCRMs in the infrastructure.<BR />You then configure the VCRM to point to its repository.<BR /><BR />The VCA's however need to point to a particular VCRM. A single VCA could be configured and then those settings replicated.<BR /><BR />Also, HPSIM takes a while to discover VCRMs there's a task that does this but I can't recall which one.<BR /><BR /> Tue, 17 Apr 2007 17:00:30 GMT Rob Buxton 2007-04-17T17:00:30Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/server-management-systems/sim-5-1-how-to-change-the-vcrm-on-the-cms/m-p/3983231#M26898 All,<BR /><BR />We just upgraded from SIM 4.2 to 5.1 and we discovered the VCR is pointing to the wrong server. This is causeing all kinds of issues because the VCA see the CMS as the VCR. The VCR should be on the CMS...how do we go about changing this???<BR /><BR />Thanks<BR />Brandy Tue, 17 Apr 2007 14:15:42 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/server-management-systems/sim-5-1-how-to-change-the-vcrm-on-the-cms/m-p/3983231#M26898 BrandyGary 2007-04-17T14:15:42Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/server-management-systems/sim-5-1-how-to-change-the-vcrm-on-the-cms/m-p/3983232#M26899 A bit confused about this.<BR />The VCRM can be installed on the same server as HPSIM or another server.

We removed it off of the server so now it is only installed on the CMS. Although, when we go to the VCR configuration on the server it does not list any servers. I have attached a screen capture. How do I go about forcing the CMS to list the VCR?<BR /><BR />Thanks,<BR />Brandy Thu, 17 May 2007 09:15:23 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/server-management-systems/sim-5-1-how-to-change-the-vcrm-on-the-cms/m-p/3983233#M26900 BrandyGary 2007-05-17T09:15:23Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/server-management-systems/sim-5-1-how-to-change-the-vcrm-on-the-cms/m-p/3983234#M26901 That should show your VCRM. It could be a trust issue. Make sure the trust settings are correct on your Sims server.<BR />Open the homepage for that server, and check Settings, Security. I have both SIMS and VCRM running on the same server, and the certificate for the SIMS server needs to be in this trust relationship.
