Server software and configuration utilities 83
Insight Manager. A dedicated server is recommended to host both HP Systems Insight Manager and
HP Insight Remote Support Advanced.
Details for both versions are available on the HP website (http://www.hp.com/go/insightremotesupport
).
To download the software for free, go to Software Depot (http://www.software.hp.com
).
Select Insight Remote Support from the menu on the right.
Keeping the system current
Drivers
The server includes new hardware that may not have driver support on all operating system installation
media.
If you are installing a SmartStart-supported operating system, use the SmartStart software (on page 73)
and its Assisted Path feature to install the operating system and latest driver support.
NOTE: If you are installing drivers from the SmartStart CD or the Software Maintenance CD,
refer to the SmartStart website (http://www.hp.com/servers/smartstart
) to be sure that you
are using the latest version of SmartStart. For more information, refer to the documentation
provided with the SmartStart CD.
If you do not use the SmartStart CD to install an operating system, drivers for some of the new hardware
are required. These drivers, as well as other option drivers, ROM images, and value-add software can be
downloaded from the HP website (http://www.hp.com/support
).
IMPORTANT: Always perform a backup before installing or updating device drivers.
Version control
The VCRM and VCA are Web-enabled Insight Management Agents tools that HP SIM uses to facilitate
and schedule software update tasks to the entire enterprise.
VCRM manages the repository for Windows and Linux PSPs as well as online firmware.
Administrators can browse a graphical view of the PSPs or configure VCRM to automatically update
the repository with Internet downloads of the latest software from HP.
VCA compares installed software versions and available updates. Administrators can configure VCA
to point to a repository managed by VCRM.
For more information about version control tools, see the HP Systems Insight Manager Help Guide and the
Version Control User Guide on the HP Systems Insight Manager website (http://www.hp.com/go/hpsim
).
ProLiant Support Packs
PSPs represent operating system-specific bundles of ProLiant optimized drivers, utilities, and management
agents. Refer to the PSP website
(http://h18000.www1.hp.com/products/servers/management/psp.html
).
