[Lekshmen]

Hi i was wondering what is hp HP Version Control Agent for Linux and how can i use it in my environment.

Thanks

The Version Control Agent reports on the HP Software & Firmware installed on the server.
Used with the Version Control Repository Manager it can report on whether your server is up to date or not.

You need install Version Conrol Repository Manager first (it can be installed only on Windows server), then enter it's address in version control agent.

But as far as i now, CentOS is not officially supported for PSP, so it might be problems to using VCA with it

Do you have HP SIM installed anywhere?
Do you have the VCRM installed anywhere?

Without these the best you can do is browse to the server (https://myserver:2381/vcagent) or drop the vcagent to just get to the SMH.

You may also want to go to wwwhp.com/go/hpsim and start to do some research on HP SIM itself.
