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 components available from the configured VCRM. The overall
software status that appears depends on the configuration defined using the Change Agent
Settings link. On Windows operating systems, 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. If there are no comparable items in the repository, the status is
considered current. You can configure software status to display critical when the server software
version does not match the Reference Support Pack version using the Change Agent Settings
link.
To view overall software status, click the Home tab. The Home page appears.
