Software and configuration utilities 109
Software and firmware
Software and firmware should be updated before using the server for the first time, unless any installed
software or components require an older version. For system software and firmware updates, download the
SPP ("
HP Service Pack for ProLiant
" on page

) from the HP website (
http://www.hp.com/go/spp
).
Version control
The VCRM and VCA are web-enabled Insight Management Agents tools that HP SIM uses to schedule
software update tasks to the entire enterprise.
•
VCRM manages the repository for SPP. Administrators can view the SPP contents or configure VCRM to
automatically update the repository with internet downloads of the latest software and firmware from
HP.
•
VCA compares installed software versions on the node with updates available in the VCRM managed
repository. Administrators configure VCA to point to a repository managed by VCRM.
For more information about version control tools, see the
HP Systems Insight Manager User Guide,
the
HP
Version Control Agent User Guide
, and the
HP Version Control Repository User Guide
on the HP website
