Known Issues; Vcrm; Vca - HP Integrity BL860c Release Note

4 Known issues

The VCRM and VCA undergo rigorous testing before releasing any given version of the product. From HP
test activities to date, the following items have been uncovered that you should keep in mind.

VCRM

Auto-update appears to complete successfully, but no files are downloaded. This situation can occur
when no VCAs are configured to use the VCRM that is performing the auto-update. The VCRM uses
operating system information provided by the VCAs to decide what files to download, and reports a
successful update in the absence of this information. You must configure at least one VCA to use the
VCRM for any files to be downloaded by the auto-update process.
You cannot copy items in a VCRM repository to the same VCRM. A red X icon appears but no error
description is provided.
When creating a Custom Software Baseline, if you select Support Pack, it selects all the components
contained in that Support Pack. You can deselect a component from the Support Pack if you do not
want to include it.
If a ProLiant or Integrity Support Pack is uploaded from a system using Internet Explorer 5.5 with Service
Pack 1 or earlier, the upload window shows that the upload process is complete. However, the copied
components are corrupted, thus producing an invalid support pack in the catalog. These corrupted
components do not get replaced with any subsequent uploads, even if they are uploaded from a
supported browser. HP recommends that you stop the VCRM service, locating the repository folder,
deleting the corrupted files, and restarting the VCRM service. Perform an upload from a system with
Internet Explorer 6.0 Service Pack 1 or higher.
If you are using CERN proxy, HP recommends configuring the VCRM to use the HTTP proxy port instead
of the FTP proxy port.
Proxy Feature Testing
The following proxy applications were used in the testing of the VCRM Automatic Update feature
using a proxy server. Most of the testing was with default proxy setups and various security settings.
However, different users can define their own site-specific security rules and configure their own proxy
servers in many different ways.

The VCRM displays a single driver although two drivers are present. Both drivers are displayed in the
Software version control table and are shown in the Installed Version column in the VCA. The
component packs that are affected include the following:
CP003718 – Contains Cpqcissm.sys and Cpqcissme.sys drivers
CP003746 – Contains Sysmgmt.sys and Cpqasm.sys drivers
CP003745 – Contains Sysmgmt.sys and Cpqasm2.sys drivers
After successfully configuring a component in the VCRM, the Catalog page displays an invalid icon
next to the Support Pack until the Catalog is automatically refreshed.

VCA

When a VCA upgrade from previous versions of VCA is executed through VCA 2.2.820 individually
or as part of an Integrity Support Pack upgrade, a failed VCA installation event is recorded in the
