Installing Vulnerability and Patch
Management Pack
Preinstallation steps
New versions of Vulnerability and Patch Management Pack are
automatically installed over a previous version. Any scheduled tasks,
scan reports, and patch updates are retained.
1. Determine the Vulnerability and Patch Management Pack
infrastructure for your server environment. Vulnerability and
Patch Management Pack and HP SIM can be installed together
on a single server (a shared configuration) or on separate
servers (a distributed configuration).
2. Be sure to have the following items available before beginning
the installation:
• Location and credentials for HP SIM (user name, password,
and domain)
• Credentials for the VPM server if you are installing on a
server other than the HP SIM server
• Credentials for the Microsoft SQL Server database if an
existing SQL Server database will be used
3. Be sure HP SIM 5.1 or later and IIS are installed, properly
configured, and running.
Installing from the Insight Control
Management DVD
IMPORTANT: HP SIM restarts after the installation of
Vulnerability and Patch Management Pack.
NOTE: The installation might take up to 20 minutes,
depending on the speed of the server.

drive of the intended VPM server. The ProLiant Essentials
