Updating repository immediately
The Update Now feature enables you to update the repository from http://www.hp.com/servers/
swdrivers immediately without waiting for a scheduled update.
NOTE: An update takes several minutes to process, and should typically be used to update a
repository that is already populated using the automatic update feature, scheduled for non-peak-time
execution. If this task is used to perform an initial update it can take over one hour to complete,
depending on the network connection, system performance, and the number of different operating
systems required by HP VCAs which are configured to use the HP VCRM.
To update a repository immediately:
1. Click the Catalog tab. The Catalog page appears.
2. Click the Update from hp.com Now link. A message appears asking you to indicate whether
you want to run an immediate update of the repository using any proxy settings configured
for the automatic update.
3. Click OK to update the repository or Cancel to abort the operation. A message appears
indicating an immediate update is started.
4. Click OK to start the update. The repository is updated.
Note: The update results are displayed in the HP VCRM log.

Deleting items from the repository
The HP Version Control Repository Manager (HP VCRM) enables you to delete selected Custom
Software Baseline, HP Service Pack for ProLiant, and components (online and offline).
CAUTION: Deleting a HP Service Pack for ProLiant, ProLiant and Integrity Support Packs or
component is irreversible. Use this feature with caution. If you delete a file and want to recover it,
you must use one of the manual methods to restore the component, HP Service Pack for ProLiant,
ProLiant and Integrity Support Packs to the repository.
CAUTION: The same file can appear in the catalog in multiple places if the component is
applicable in more than one operating system or product family. Deleting any instance of the item
from the catalog removes all occurrences because the underlying file is deleted.
NOTE: Deleting components or HP Service Pack for ProLiant, ProLiant and Integrity Support Packs
erases the associated files from the repository directory. If you want to remove items from the HP
VCRM catalog without deleting the files, first copy the files to a directory not managed by the HP
VCRM.
NOTE: If you have the automatic download feature enabled and you delete files directly in the
file system, they are downloaded again, so always delete them using the HP VCRM.
