Hi,

Normally when you install SIM, VCRM is automatically installed with it.
You can verify this by going to the SMH Systems Management Hompeage of your server where SIM is installed and than check if the VCRM URL is present.

If not, VCRM can be downloaded seperately from the HP site and can also be found on the ICE download...

Bart

VCRM is installed with HPSIM or IC, check under services whether "HP Version Control Repository Manager" is running ... R.

Please rerun a discovery in HP SIM of the server where VCRM is installed...

I've rediscovered the server and I get some errors:

********* Significant issues and overall target
discovery/identification status:
Major: The system cannot be identified properly for HP SIM to
manage; unable to get one or more of the following: model, serial
number or unique identifier (UUID). For management processors,
verify the system is running the latest firmware. For Linux based
operating systems, you must have dmidecode installed, enable the
PermitRootLogin and PasswordAuthentication in sshd, and use root sign-in
credential. For HP-UX, verify the sign-in credential. For Windows, check
if WMIMapper is configured correctly on the CMS and verify the
sign-in credential.

In the global credentials page, do you have the appropriate accounts to be validated against the servers?

Do you have this on 1 server or on all discovered servers?

One error that I didn't see yet untill now is:
* Checking for System Management Homepage and other HP web
agents...
Major: The HTTP or HTTPS is globally disabled so skipping web
service discovery.
I should focus on that one since the discovery must start with the discovery of the SMH...
Is there anything specific changed on that server?

I have the administrator credential, this happens on all discovered servers

I am currently in Las Vegas at HP Discovery so I cannot test anything in my test environment... I will try to pick up next week, hopefully meanwhile someone else can help I hope?

But like I said, I would check that HTTP thing that seems to be disabled... This is not good...

Bart

I reinstalled the HP SIM and now appears the repository is empty

Hi,
I assume you can access VCRM since you see it is empty?
So you can now upload one or more PSP's in it and try to connect the VCA from a to be managed server to connect to the VCRM...
