Server software and configuration utilities 84
If you do not use the SmartStart CD to install an OS, 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
).
To directly locate the OS drivers for a particular server, enter the following web address into the browser:
http://www.hp.com/support/<
servername
>
In place of
<servername>
, enter the server name.
For example:
http://www.hp.com/support/dl360g6 (
http://www.hp.com/support/dl360g6
)
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
