HP test activities to date, the following items have been uncovered that you should keep in mind.
HP VCRM
• Issue: Upload Support Pack option fails to upload large components from Service Pack for
ProLiant.
Description: The Upload Support Pack option in HP VCRM fails to upload components with a
size of more than 100 MB. HP VCRM displays the Service Pack for ProLiant as invalid message.
Workaround: To resolve the issue, use either of the following two options:
◦ Manually extract the missing component and place it in the repository.
◦ Place the Service Pack for ProLiant ISO file directly into the repository folder.
• Issue: Auto update appears to complete successfully, but no files are downloaded.
Description: This situation can occur when no HP VCA is configured to use the HP VCRM and
no operating system is selected in (Download Integrity Support Pack and ProLiant Support
Pack) settings page in HP VCRM.
Workaround: To resolve the issue, you must configure at least one HP VCA to use the HP
VCRM or use the HP VCRM's change repository and update settings option and click Next
to open Download Integrity Support Packs and ProLiant Support Packs settings page in HP
VCRM and select any operating system from the list to be downloaded by the auto update
process.
• Issue: Selecting Support Pack selects all the components contained in that support pack.
Description: When creating a Custom Software Baseline, if you select a Support Pack, it selects
all the components contained in that Support Pack.
Workaround: You can deselect a component from the Support Pack if you do not want to
include it.
• Issue: Uploading PSP or ISP from IE 5.5 SP 1 or earlier browsers produces an invalid support
pack in the catalog.
Description: If a ProLiant or Integrity Support Pack is uploaded from a system using Internet
Explorer 5.5 with Service Pack 1 or earlier, the upload window shows that the upload process
is complete. However, the copied components are corrupted, thus producing an invalid support
pack in the catalog. These corrupted components do not get replaced with any subsequent
uploads, even if they are uploaded from a supported browser.
Workaround: HP recommends that you stop the HP VCRM service, locating the repository
folder, deleting the corrupted files, and restarting the HP VCRM service. Perform an upload
from a system with Internet Explorer 6.0 Service Pack 1 or higher.
