Even though the VCA part is deployed and configured correctly when I run a report selecting the Software Firmware Baseline information I don't get back the required info. All the fields are populated, including the "Configured repository" but the ones I am interested in "Software Firmware Baseline Name, Version and Latest version" are all blank. What have I missed here?<BR /><BR />Any help will be much appreciated.<BR /><BR />Cheers,<BR /><BR />Russ.

VCA seems to be configured correctly. When in the SMH of the server, VCA show what is currently installed and the latest versions available in the repository. So I believe that version control is configured correctly.<BR /><BR />However, when I run a report from SIM 5.2 on a server and only check "Software Firmware Baseline Information" from the general section, the report is blank.<BR /><BR />- Rick Thu, 03 Apr 2008 17:35:41 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/server-management-systems/sim5-2-software-baseline-reporting-won-t-work/m-p/4170923#M32378 RickL 2008-04-03T17:35:41Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/server-management-systems/sim5-2-software-baseline-reporting-won-t-work/m-p/4170924#M32379 Hi Russ,<BR /><BR />Running Data Collection on those for which "Software Firmware Baseline information" is blank whould help you.<BR /><BR /> Mon, 07 Apr 2008 03:38:07 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/server-management-systems/sim5-2-software-baseline-reporting-won-t-work/m-p/4170924#M32379 loooolaaaaa 2008-04-07T03:38:07Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/server-management-systems/sim5-2-software-baseline-reporting-won-t-work/m-p/4170925#M32380 Hi, I`ve tried that, it populates the the report with info about the software versions the server is running but makes no comparison to the software baseline.<BR /><BR />????
