How old?
The previous version of all material is on the HP Site.
You can manually pull down any CPxxxxx files.

You might want to create a separate sub-directory under the repository directory to download these files to.

I don't know, I don't use the automatic download function. I prefer to manually control it as it tends to bring down a lot of stuff that I don't want.

The Version Control Repository Manager "remembers" the old, deleted Proliant Support Packs by leaving their old catalogues in the repository directory as zero byte files.

If you delete these files beginning with bp and ending with .xml and are zero byte files located in the repository directory. Then rebuild the catalog from the Catalog tab.

VCRM should then download old Proliant Support Packs still in hp's central repository catalog on the internet.
