If you do not use the SmartStart CD to install an OS, 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).
To directly locate the OS drivers for a particular server, enter the following web address into the browser:
http://www.hp.com/support/<servername>
In place of <servername>, enter the server name.
For example:
http://www.hp.com/support/dl360g6 (http://www.hp.com/support/dl360g6)

Version control

The VCRM and VCA are Web-enabled Insight Management Agents tools that HP SIM uses to facilitate
and schedule software update tasks to the entire enterprise.
VCRM manages the repository for Windows and Linux PSPs as well as online firmware.
Administrators can browse a graphical view of the PSPs or configure VCRM to automatically update
the repository with Internet downloads of the latest software from HP.
VCA compares installed software versions and available updates. Administrators can configure VCA
to point to a repository managed by VCRM.
For more information about version control tools, see the HP Systems Insight Manager Help Guide and the
Version Control User Guide on the HP Systems Insight Manager website (http://www.hp.com/go/hpsim).
