VCA The VCA is available for Windows and Linux operating systems. The VCA is an integrated part of the SMH that is designed to display the available software inventory of the server on which it is installed. The VCA also enables the installation, comparison, and update of server software from a repository that is managed by the VCRM. Users with administrator or operator privileges can access the VCA to maintain the software inventory of the server manually. Users with user privileges can access the VCA but cannot perform installation and configuration activities. The installation of components and configuration activities are saved to a log file at the server. The VCA logs activities, such as software installations, which are saved in this log. However, installations performed outside the VCA do not appear in this log. HP SIM HP SIM is a Web-based server management application that leverages the power of the Internet to provide Web-based systems management. When integrated with the VCA and the VCRM, HP SIM provides a proactive, easy-to-use, automated, and cost-effective solution for managing distributed systems and updating software on the managed systems remotely. HP SIM transforms management of standards-based, distributed computing environments. By enabling browser access to its components, HP SIM provides efficient management of HP and third-party devices and groups of systems using Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), Desktop Management Interface (DMI), and Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP), automatically consolidating and integrating the management data and displaying the information on demand. With HP SIM, you can monitor and manage groups of servers, clients, clusters, and networking products anywhere, at any time, from a standard web browser. Security considerations Three distinct types of secure connections are employed in the version control architecture. The following diagram illustrates the connections. HP SIM 9

it is installed. The VCA also enables the installation, comparison, and update of server software
from a repository that is managed by the VCRM.
Users with administrator or operator privileges can access the VCA to maintain the software
inventory of the server manually. Users with user privileges can access the VCA but cannot
perform installation and configuration activities. The installation of components and configuration
activities are saved to a log file at the server. The VCA logs activities, such as software installations,
which are saved in this log. However, installations performed outside the VCA do not appear
