HP Version Control Agent 7.2 User Guide

Logging in

Access the HP Version Control Agent (HP VCA) graphical user interface (GUI) from any network

client using a web browser. For information about which browsers are supported, refer to the HP

Version Control Installation and Configuration Guide.

IMPORTANT: If an HP Version Control Repository Manager (HP VCRM) has not been configured,

only the Software and Firmware Inventory of items currently installed on the system are displayed

on the Home page. The HP VCA settings must be configured for full functionality.

NOTE: Login accounts, which have Administrator or Operator privileges defined in the HP SMH,

can access all features of the HP VCA.

Logging into the HP VCA

To log into the HP VCA:

1. To access the HP VCA with access to all available features, you must log into the HP SMH

with administrator or operator level access.

2. Navigate to https://hostname:2381. The Login page appears if Anonymous Access is

disabled. If Anonymous Access is enabled, the HP SMH page appears.

3. After you have logged in, you can browse directly to the HP VCA by entering

https://hostname:2381/vcagent in the browser address field, or you can open it in

a new browser window by clicking the HP Version Control Agent link from the HP SMH under

Integrated Agents, or in the Version Control status box on the Home tab. The HP VCA page

appears.

NOTE: In SMH 3.x and later, the Version Control (VCA and VCRM) agents links are available

only under the Version Control status box on the Home tab and it opens in the same window. The

Integrated Agents will be available in Webapps tab, but there is no link available for any agent.
