5 Installing the HP VCA on Windows operating systems
HP VCA requirements for Windows
The HP VCA can be used in conjunction with HP SIM and the HP VCRM. The options must be
configured for full functionality. The installation of the HP VCA requires that you specify a certified
login with a HP VCRM. When specified, HP VCAs can determine the versions of HP software and
firmware installed on each individual system and compare the version with the latest software or
firmware and baseline definitions available in the HP VCRM. The following diagram illustrates a
logical order for the initial HP VCA installation process on a Windows operating system.
