HP Version Control 7.0 Installation and Configuration Guide

◦ Power Users
Power Users possess most administrative powers with some restrictions.
◦ Users
Users are prevented from making accidental or intentional system-wide changes.
12. Click Finish. The account is created and appears in the Users for this computer list.
13. Click OK to close the Users and Passwords dialog box.
4. Create a user group that includes the HP SMH's Administrator or Operator list, for example,
VCOperators. Add the account that you created to that group.
5. If you used one of the legacy account names, and you have not upgraded to HP SMH yet,
change the existing operator or user account's password to match the identically named
operating system account.
6. If you intend to upgrade, add the created user group to the Administrator or Operator group
list in the HP SMH Operating System Groups page during installation. If you have already
upgraded to HP SMH, add the created user group to HP SMH through the HP SMH Settings
page. For more information regarding assigning accounts in HP SMH, refer to the HP SMH
online help.
The user group must be added to the Administrator or Operator lists in the HP SMH for the
HP VCA to have the ability to download and install software using the HP VCRM on this
system.
Login to the HP SMH using the newly created account and password to verify that it logs in
successfully.
7. Change the configuration of the HP VCAs that are already installed. There are several ways
to change the configuration, including:
a. HP SIM users should use Replicate Agent Settings to configure one HP VCA to the account
and password previously created in step 3, and then deploy that configuration to all
installed HP VCAs.
Note: This is the lowest impact solution, and it does not cause a reboot or restart of the
affected systems.
b. Pre-configure a HP VCA component using the HP VCRM, and use HP SIM or HP Insight
Manager to create a software deployment task to deploy this component.
If you choose to deploy the HP VCA from the 7.20 ProLiant Support Pack, you must deploy
the HP SMH component before the HP VCA can install.
Note: This method causes a reboot of the Windows systems where the HP VCA is
upgraded, since it is being used to upgrade itself.
c. Use the HP Smart Update Manager Utility to pre-configure a HP VCA for Windows
component. If you choose the HP VCA from the 7.20 ProLiant Support Pack or Integrity
Support Pack 3.20, you must deploy the HP SMH component before the HP VCA can
install.
8. Verify that the settings are correct and functioning by browsing to one of the systems where
an updated HP VCA is installed, and confirming the software status is accurate. If you are an
HP SIM or HP Insight Manager user, run the Software Status Polling task to display updated
status.
NOTE: You cannot use this procedure on Windows Server 2008.
To add operating system accounts on Windows Server 2008:
1. Select Start→Settings→Control Panel.
2. Select User Accounts→Manage Another Account→Create a New Account
3. In the User Name field, enter a user name for this account and select Administrator.
