Version Control Auto-update

[Craig McKellar]

Hiya,

In the VCA there's an option to update all the components to the selected Support Pack - but does anyone know a way to update all components to the Latest Version held in the repository? Rather than updating each one individually..

Cheers

I am not familiar with HP SIM 4.x
However, CIM 7.x I believe you can do this using the VCDB for legacy VCA updates.

On the host CIM (not the clients)
Logon,

Go to the SETTINGS tab.
Click on the "+" to expand the SERVER menu
Click on the LEGACY VERSION CONTROL.

This page allows you to update the Version Control database (VCDB), and to configure its retirement age. You can download the latest Version Control database to the Insight Manager 7 server from the HP web site by configuring the connection settings and selecting the Update VCDB button.

Hi,

I SIM, I believe the only way to do this would be to create a custom baseline in the VCRM. That would be cumbersome, however, because you would need to manually update it to include newer components as they came out.

Good luck,
