HP Version Control Agent 7.2 User Guide

NT, choose the Foundation Agents for Windows from the Windows 2000 and Windows NT

branch.

What capabilities do I get from the HP VCA alone?

Solution: The HP VCA provides a list of the HP Web-enabled System Management Software and

firmware installed on the local server. For the HP VCA to provide version control and software

distribution functionality, it must be configured to refer to a HP VCRM.

Does HP have any intention of disabling the Install icon on those components that do not install

silently or without user intervention in future releases?

Solution: Yes.

The HP VCA or HP VCRM display as links under the Integrated Agents list on the HP SMH, but the

application is missing from the HP Version Control category on the HP SMH's Home tab, or the

category does not display at all. When I click the link under the Integrated Agents, a page displays

indicating The application is not available.

Solution: On Windows, the associated Win32 service is stopped. You must restart the HP Version

Control Agent or HP Version Control Repository Manager's Win32 service on the server. If the

service is not set for automatic startup, then configure the service to start automatically. If the service

stopped unexpectedly, check the Windows NT Event Log as well as the application's log for

additional information.

On Linux, the associated HP VCA daemon process is stopped, and the HP VCA daemon can be

restarted by the root user running /etc/init.d/hpvca restart.
