Viewing overall software status
The Overall Status icon is not displayed until an HP Version Control Repository Manager (VCRM) has been
configured using the Change Agent Settings link. After a repository has been configured, the Overall
Software Status icon is based on a comparison between the installed software or firmware versions and
newest component s available from the configured VCRM. The overall software status that appears depends
on the configuration defined using the Change Agent Settings link. You can configure the Overall Software
Status to display a Major status if the server software version does not match the Reference Support Pack
version. When both a repository and Reference Support Pack have been configured, the Overall Software
Status icon is based on a comparison between the installed software or firmware versions and the software
or firmware versions in the Reference Support Pack.
For more information regarding the Software Status icons, refer to “Viewing overall software status icons”.
IMPORTANT: Software status is based on a comparison of installed software against what is available in
the repository. You can configure software status to display Major when the server software version does
not match the Reference Support Pack version using the Change Ag ent Settings link. If there are no
comparable items in the repository, the status is considered current .
To view overall software status, click the Home tab. The Home page appears.
