Description: When a VCA upgrade from previous versions of VCA is executed through VCA
2.2.820 individually or as part of an Integrity Support Pack upgrade, a failed VCA installation

Workaround: The functionality of VCA is not impacted. Restart the VCA service once the
upgrade is complete. But, for any subsequent uninstallation or reinstallation of the new VCA
version, reboot the system.
• Issue: A system running HP Insight Management Agents on a named Windows 2003 account,

Description: The VCA is designed to be installed and running on the local system account on

Workaround: SmartStart 6.20 or later is recommended.
• Issue: VCA does not accept HP SIM software update tasks if a previous software update task
was terminated because of the VCA service stopping before completion.
Description: This is because of HP SIM task reporting In Progress from the VCA.
Workaround: HP recommends:
1. Restart the VCA.
2. Stop the HP SIM task that is reporting In Progress.
