On SIM console device has ? against SW ie software status which suggests that VCA isn't installed, yet it is. I've tried running identify and auto discovery but no update.
Any idea what the problem is.

Did you try STATUS POLLING>SOFTWARE STATUS POLLING and DATA COLLECTION?

You have to point your VCA to a VCRM (HP Version Control Repository Manager) on your network. The VCRM should have some reference ProLiant Support Packs in them. Once you do this, VCA will be able to report a software status and the same will be collected by SIM once you run Software Status polling task.

well that sorted it. Odd as it was a new build. Maybe manual discovery doesn't do everything that automatic does.
