VCRM error after upgrade to 4.2

[Peter Stringer]

Just upgraded from 4.1 to 4.2 sim.

seems to have worked but can't access repos manager from managed servers.

Also the VCRM link has vanished from my Insightmanager console server.

when I try to change agent setting I use the settings I have used before, it tells me could not be accessed.

if you made the upgrade to SIM 4.2, you have a new component. the system management homeoage on the SIM server. there is a new security and you have to change something.

see HP System Insight Manager 4.2 iGuide, chapter 13 Migrating Version Control to the System Management Homepage:
Previous versions of the System Management Homepage, known as Management HTTP Server,
provided three levels of account access, including administrator, operator and user. These accounts had passwords that were defined locally at the System Management Homepage and were assigned a privilege level that corresponded to the account name. When the System Management Homepage is installed, the Management HTTP Server credentials are used if any Web Agents are installed on a system. The concept of an administrator or operator level still exists and is accomplished by associating an operating system user group with that privilege level in the System Management Homepage security settings, and finally by adding the user accounts to the groups that provide the level or privilege desired.
The Version Control Agent communicates with a Version Control Repository Manager acting as
an HTTP client, just as an interactive user communicates. Therefore, Version Control Agent settings require the name of a system where the Version Control Repository Manager is installed, and the login account and password required to access the System Management Homepage on that system.
The security changes that resulted from the upgrade of the Management HTTP Server to the System Management Homepage, cause the account and password that are configured at the Version Control Agent to be migrated to System Management Homepage. Migrating the Management HTTP Server credentials allows the Version Control Agent to communicate with the Version Control Repository Manager to calculate software status and allow software downloads.

i did it and it´s working fine.
