Version Control on HPSIM 5.0

[Robyn_7]

question I am trying to figure out how to upload my first reference support pack into the Version Control manager. Which manual does this show up in. I have been looking them all. I found out how to update remote servers after the repository is populated. However cannot figure out how to populate the repository.

Browse to https://:2381/cgi-bin/vcrepository/cgi

Login and then click on the "Upload support pack". It then will prompt for a ActiveX control installation. On successful intallation of that, you can start populating your VCRM using the SmartStart CD(s).

There is also an option to download the softwares and firmwares from hp.com. Use the "Configure the repository and automatic update settings" link to do the same.

If you need different versions of PSP and if you dont have the CD's with you, do the following:

1) You should have at least one VCA in your network pointed to the VCRM (Browse VCA and click "change agent settings" and configure VCA to use VCRM)
2) VCRM system should have access to ftp://ftp.hp.com and ftp://ftp.compaq.com to get the Updates online

If the above 2 points are fine, then you can Click on "Update from hp.com now" option in VCRM's "Catalog" tab, or you can schedule the VCRM to Download automatically by using "configure the repository and automatic update settings" in VCRM's "Home" tab.

Just to add to my previous post...

The support packs are present in ~\compaq\csp\ folder of the SmartStart CD.
