Multiple VCRM - in same SIM console

Thomas Olsen_1 — Mon, 18 Dec 2006 03:38:26 GMT

Hi all

We have two large sites in our org with several servers in each location.
To limit the bandwidth usage when installing PSP's and firmware, I want to install a Version Control Repository Manager (VCRM) in each site.
Is there a way to link both these VCRMs to the same HP SIM console? And can I select which VCRM to use when pushing software so that the servers can use the local VCRM for PSP deployment, etc.

BTW: Is this a recommended design, or should I stick to one VCRM only in my org?

Some help is appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi Thomas!

We have a similar design here.
2 big locations, at one there is a server installed with hp sim and vcrm.
At the other location i have a server where vcrm is installed, too.
The sim server recognizes the vcrm from each location.
And it is possible to select the vcrm server when pushing software-updates on the servers.

Same as above, we have 1 repository from an older install. This isn't really managed or updated from HP, but we have the option to select either for each software/deployment etc.

Hi Ulrich / Steve

This is great stuff.
I just installed a second VCRM and after running a discovery on that site, I can select between two servers to deploy my drivers/firmware.

Thanks alot for your feedback.
