To start using the Version Control Repository Manager and the Version Control Agent, use the following steps as a guideline for installing and configuring your machines properly:
Verify that your system meets minimum requirements.
Install and configure the Version Control Repository Manager on a machine accessible to the machine you are updating, or browsing from, as well as the target systems where the Version Control Agents are installed. Install the Version Control Repository Manager on one system only, and not every system. You can have more than one repository, but this is generally not necessary in environments where software updates are done without HP Systems Insight Manager, unless there are systems that cannot establish a reliable high-speed connection to the single Version Control Repository Manager system. The system that has the Version Control Repository Manager installed does not require the Version Control Agent to be installed.
Install and configure the Version Control Agent on the target machines. Installing the Version Control Repository Manager before installing the Version Control Agent enables you to configure the Version Control Agent to use data in the repository specified by way of the Change the Agent Settings link in the Version Control Agent. For more information regarding installing the Version Control Repository Manager, refer to the Version Control Repository Manager Installation Process.
Browse to the System Management Homepage located at https://devicename:2381 to log in.
Configure the Version Control Agent to use data provided by the repository defined by way of the Change the Agent Settings link.
