StatusIcon
The Reference Support Pack configured at the VCA is no longer
valid at the configured VCRM.
When the overall software status indicates that an item is not current, identify the software or firmware items
that have available updates, read the item descriptions, and determine whether the update is appropriate
for the server.
In the event a repository has been configured and a Reference Support Pack has not, the status is based on
a comparison between the installed software or firmware versions and the newest components available
from the configured repository.
In the event a repository and Reference Support Pack have been configured, the status is based on a
