Configuring the VCA The VCA Configuration wizard appears during the initial installation of the VCA, and enables you to configure the VCRM, which provides a reference point for available HP software. Caution: Enter the account and provide the appropriate password for the VCA to download software from the VCRM. Enter at least a user-level account and provide the appropriate password for the VCA to provide software status by comparing the inventory with what is available at the VCRM. However, user-level account access does not allow the VCA to download and install software. To configure the VCA's settings to use a VCRM to obtain software status and software downloads: 1. In the Repository Manager Device field, enter the name of the system that hosts the VCRM. You can enter an IP address or system name. 2. In the Login Account field, enter a login that has the appropriate security level for the SMH on the specified system. The type of account, account name and password depend on whether the SMH or Management HTTP Server is installed at the system specified in the previous step. This account must have Operator or Administrator level at the VCRM system, so it is recommended that you use a browser to verify the login account and password before entering it. Note: This account is at the VCRM system, not the VCA system. Note: To avoid any potential administrator lockouts from the SMH, the account named Administrator cannot be used to connect to the VCRM from the VCA. Do not use that account if the VCRM system has the SMH installed. For more information regarding migrating version control to SMH, refer to Migrating Version Control to the System Management Homepage. 3.
