HP Integrity rx2600 HP Version Control Release Notes - Page 15

4 Known issues The VCRM and VCA undergo rigorous testing before releasing any given version of the product. From HP test activities to date, the following items have been uncovered that you should keep in mind. VCRM • Auto-update appears to complete successfully, but no files are downloaded. This situation can occur when no VCAs are configured to use the VCRM that is performing the auto-update. The VCRM uses operating system information provided by the VCAs to decide what files to download, and reports a successful update in the absence of this information. You must configure at least one VCA to use the VCRM for any files to be downloaded by the auto-update process. • You cannot copy items in a VCRM repository to the same VCRM. A red X icon appears but no error description is provided. • When creating a Custom Software Baseline, if you select Support Pack, it selects all the components contained in that Support Pack. You can deselect a component from the Support Pack if you do not want to include it. • If a ProLiant or Integrity Support Pack is uploaded from a system using Internet Explorer 5.5 with Service Pack 1 or earlier, the upload window shows that the upload process is complete. However, the copied components are corrupted, thus producing an invalid support pack in the catalog. These corrupted components do not get replaced with any subsequent uploads, even if they are uploaded from a supported browser. HP recommends that you stop the VCRM service, locating the repository folder, deleting the corrupted files, and restarting the VCRM service. Perform an upload from a system with Internet Explorer 6.0 Service Pack 1 or higher. • If you are using CERN proxy, HP recommends configuring the VCRM to use the HTTP proxy port instead of the FTP proxy port. • Proxy Feature Testing The following proxy applications were used in the testing of the VCRM Automatic Update feature using a proxy server. Most of the testing was with default proxy setups and various security settings. However, different users can define their own site-specific security rules and configure their own proxy servers in many different ways.
