2 Getting started

To start using the

HP Version Control Repository Manager

(VCRM), use the following steps as a guideline

for installing and configuring your machines properly:

The recommended installation for the VCRM is on a single system that has a reliable, high-performance
network connection between it and all managed systems that have the HP Version Control Agents installed.
If the Auto Update feature is being used, that system must have Internet access.

1.

Verify that your system meets minimum requirements.

2.

Install and configure the SMH. For more information regarding the

System Management Homepage

(SMH), refer to the System Management Homepage Installation Guide at

http://h18013.www1.hp.com/

products/servers/management/agents/documentation.html

.

3.

Install and configure the VCRM on your selected system.

4.

Install and configure the VCA on the target systems. Installing the VCRM before installing the VCA
enables you to configure the VCA to use data in the repository specified by way of the Change Settings
link in the VCA, a Replicate Agent Settings task in

HP Systems Insight Manager

(HP SIM), or

preconfiguring the VCA component and installing the component with the preconfigured settings. For
more information regarding installing the VCRM, refer to the HP Version Control Installation Guide at

http://h18013.www1.hp.com/products/servers/management/agents/documentation.html

.

5.

Browse to the SMH located at https://hostname:2381 to log in.
