Viewing overall software status icons
NOTE: Click a Software Status icon to access the HP Version Control Agent (VCA). If the VCA
cannot be accessed, help displays describing how to configure the VCA or trust relationship on
that system.
NOTE: There is a Software Status icon for every system except HP-UX.
The status is based on comparing the installed versions against versions in the repository.
StatusIcon
There are different reasons why an Unknown status icon
might display:
• The VCA does not have an HP Version Control
Repository Manager (VCRM) configured.
• The configured VCRM is not reachable or does not
respond to HTTP requests, for example, the system or
service is down or the password has been changed.
• A VCA cannot be detected on the system or cannot
communicate with the VCA.
