Verify that you want the selected HP Service Pack for ProLiant uploaded to the HP VCRM, and
click Upload to begin copying the files to the HP VCRM's repository directory.

Note: Before you click Upload, you can deselect any HP Service Pack for ProLiant, ProLiant
and Integrity Support Packs shown to remove it from the list, and it will not be uploaded.

4.

After clicking Upload, the Upload Progress section appears. The Current Task field, located
in the Upload Progress section, refers to the file that is being uploaded. The Progress bar
indicates the status of the file that is currently being uploaded. You can click Cancel to abort
the upload process. If you click Cancel, a message appears asking you if you are sure you
want to cancel the operation. Click OK, and the upload is canceled as soon as the current
task is completed.

Note: The Progress bar, located in the bottom of the browser window, indicates the status of
the task currently being executed, while the one in the Upload Progress section shows the
overall progress for all files being uploaded.

5.

After the upload is complete, click Close to close the upload window and refresh the HP VCRM
display.

Note: The upload task is complete when the files have been transferred from the local system
to the HP VCRM. For performance reasons, transferred files are queued for cataloging as a
separate activity at the HP VCRM server, meaning that upon completion of the upload, not
all of the files will immediately appear in the catalog, and uploaded HP Service Pack for
ProLiant may be marked as invalid until all files have been cataloged, usually within a few
minutes.
