3 Issues and workarounds
The HP VCRM undergoes rigorous testing before releasing any given version of the product. From
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 HP ProLiant and HP Integrity Support Packs for Operating
System 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 HP ProLiant and HP Integrity Support Packs for Operating System 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: Using the CERN proxy.
Workaround: If you are using the CERN proxy, HP recommends configuring the HP VCRM to
use the HTTP proxy port instead of the FTP proxy port.
• Issue: Proxy Feature Testing.
Description: The following proxy applications were used in the testing of the HP VCRM
Automatic Update feature using a proxy server. Most of the testing was with default proxy
setups and various security settings. However, different users can define their own site-specific
security rules and configure their own proxy servers in many different ways.
