Drivers
The server includes new hardware that may not have driver support on all operating system installation
media.
If you are installing a SmartStart-supported operating system, use the SmartStart software (on page 54)
and its Assisted Path feature to install the operating system and latest driver support.
NOTE: If you are installing drivers from the SmartStart CD or the Software Maintenance CD, refer to the
SmartStart website (http://www.hp.com/servers/smartstart) to be sure that you are using the latest version
of SmartStart. For more information, refer to the documentation provided with the SmartStart CD.
If you do not use the SmartStart CD to install an operating system, drivers for some of the new hardware
are required. These drivers, as well as other option drivers, ROM images, and value-add software can be
downloaded from the HP website (http://www.hp.com/support).
IMPORTANT: Always perform a backup before installing or updating device drivers.
Version control
The VCRM and VCA are Web-enabled Insight Management Agents. HP Systems Insight Manager uses
these Insight Management Agents to facilitate software update tasks.
The VCRM provides a graphical view of the Windows® and Linux PSPs that are stored in a
•
repository and can be configured to automatically update the repository with the latest software from
HP.
The VCA can be configured to point to a repository being managed by the VCRM, enabling easy
•
version comparison and software updates.
