VCRM is killing me!!!
I am tasked with setting up for the first time the SIM as well as the VCRM for automating our Bios and firmware updates. I have installed the SIM Successfully ( so I think) and I am trying to set up one of our servers to be the repository manager. I attempt to do an update and it tells me in the log that an update is being run but when I go to the repository folder, there is never anything in it! I have tried three times to no avail.
I don't understand what I am missing!!! Please help..

Re: VCRM is killing me!!!
I also download stuff manually. I create a top level directory which the VCRM is pointed to and below that sub-directories for the individual PSPs (makes tidy ups easier) and a separate sub-directory for firmware downloads.
It's been a while since I've looked at the auto download side, so it may have improved, but it pulled down too much for me.

Re: VCRM is killing me!!!
- I have always setup the VCRM on the same server as the HP-SIM and it worked fine always - i have no experience with running the VCRM on a separate server
- Do not create subfolders into the VCRM repository directory: this does not help at all because everything that is being downloaded from HP is put on a flat level in that VCRM root directory.
- I've read somewhere that before being able to download stuff from HP, the VCRM repository manager must first know which kind of hardware and software is being managed - so a successfully inventory of managed servers and successfull VCA connection to VCRM must happening in your environment prior to be able to automatically download stuff from HP

Re: VCRM is killing me!!!
Have you configure your proxy correctly?
You have a test connexion to check if the connexion is successful?
Have you try an internet connexion from your VCRM server?
Cheers,
JYP

Re: VCRM is killing me!!!
Thanks for the response.
-I do have SIM installed on the same server as the VCRM
-I do have an internet connection and everything. I have a web filter appliance that filters http traffic but not anything else. I have checked the logs and i know for a fact that this isn't interfering.
-
There has been an inventory on the SIM run and the SIM is running correctly i believe. I have used the sim for some reports and such...
Dumb question probably, but how do I download manuely?

Re: VCRM is killing me!!!
If you give up the manual way is to go to HP.COM and D/L the file one by one and copy them into the repositoy the VCRM will unpack them.

Re: VCRM is killing me!!!
To manually upload a Support Pack to VCRM first download a Proliant Support Pack from HP (specify an appropriate server model and OS in the Software & Driver Downloads section and the current support pack for that model will be listed under Software - Support Pack - or you can pull a less current PSP off the Smartstart CD that came with your server). Once downloaded, run the downloaded executable to unzip the PSP to a specified directory. Within the VCRM browser window click Upload a Support Pack in the upper left under the home tab, browse to the directory you unzipped the PSP to and follow the instructions on the screen.
