Version Control Repository

Vincent Roodenburg — Mon, 31 Jan 2005 11:37:15 GMT

I've installed HP SIM today. During the install i've configured a path for the repository. When I want to deploy a Proliant Support Pack to a server (which i've unzipped to the specified "repository" folder) it says "There are no Support Packs in this catalog."
How do I "fill" the repository with support packs ?

You shouldn't need to but you can "Scan" the catalogue.
From the Links Tab of the Server that has the VCRM go to the VCRM and there's a Scan Option.
But check the Repository structure.
I point my VCRM to d:\VCRM and then have a number of sub-direstories that contain different Softpaqs etc. below that. It just makes Management a bit easier.
You should see a corresponding .mnf file for each cpxxxxx.exe file when VCRM correctly scans and catalogues the repository.

It worked out all by itself. It might took some time for the system to create an index (i think) Thanks anyway !
