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. On Windows operating systems, 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.

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

The When checked, software status is based on installed software�s version matching exactly that software�s version in the Reference Support Pack option is not available for Linux operating systems.

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 "current". 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.
