Overall Software Status

The Overall Status icon is not displayed until a Version Control Repository Manager has been configured using the Change Agent Settings link. When only a repository has been configured, the Overall Software Status icon is based on a comparison between the installed software/firmware versions and newest components available from the configured Version Control Repository Manager. The Overall Software Status that is displayed depends on the configuration using the Change Agent Settings link. You can configure the Overall Software Status to display a critical status if the server software version does not match the Reference Support Pack version. When both a repository and Reference Support Pack have been configured, the Overall Software Status icon is based on a comparison between the installed software/firmware versions and the software/firmware versions in the Reference Support Pack.

IMPORTANT: Software status is based on a comparison of installed software against what is available in the repository. If there are no comparable items in the repository, the status will be considered “up to date.” You can configure software status to display “critical” when the server software version does not match the Reference Support Pack version using the Change Agent Settings link.

Overall Software Status Icons

Status Icons	Definitions
	There are no newer versions available at the repository for the installed software or firmware. The server is up to date.
	One or more installed software or firmware items have an update available in the configured repository. The update may contain new hardware support or bug fixes.
	One or more installed software or firmware items have a “critical” update available in the configured repository. The update contains a critical bug fix.
	The status is unknown.

The status is based on comparing the installed versions against versions in the repository.

Software status is based on a comparison of installed software against what is available in the repository. If there are no comparable items in the repository, the status will be considered “up to date.”

If a Version Control Repository Manager has not been configured by way of the Change Agent Settings link, the overall status cannot be displayed because the overall status is based on a comparison with components at the Version Control Repository Manager.

When the Overall Software Status indicates that an item is not current, identify the software or firmware items that have available updates, read the item descriptions, and determine whether the update is appropriate for the server.

In the event a repository has been configured and a Reference Support Pack has not, the status is based on a comparison between the installed software/firmware versions and the newest components available from the configured repository.

In the event both a repository and Reference Support Pack have been configured, the status is based on a comparison between the installed software/firmware versions and the software/firmware versions in the Reference Support Pack.
