HP SIM woes

I previously had running HP SIM 4.1 which I installed on a fresh build of a server – ProLiant DL380 G2 dual 1.4 GHz with 2GB RAM running Windows 2000 Server with SP4 – and I experienced a number of performance and stability issues with it. Yesterday I upgraded to HP SIM 4.2 over the top of 4.1 hoping to see some improvement, however now none my managed servers can see the Version Control Repository Manager configured on the same server.

In HP SIM, if I choose Options and Version Control Repository, I get:

Error, the Version Control Repository Manager (VCRM) was not found on any discovered systems. If the VCRM is installed, be sure it is running and that the system it is running on has been discovered by HP Systems Insight Manager. To verify the VCRM is identified, view the Links tab on the system's Device Page. If the system is discovered, but the VCRM does not appear on the systems' Links tab, run an Identify Systems task to that system.

The service is definitely started, and I’ve run an Identify on the server that it’s installed on but it’s still not discovered or not working. I’m considering trashing the whole system and starting again from scratch, but I shouldn’t have to do this. Any su

Can you access it via http://SERVERNAME:2301 --> Version Control Repository?

No, the Version Control Repository does not appear in the menu down the left hand side in either the Integrated Agents or Other Agents sections.
