The Overall Software Status icon is not displayed until an HP Version Control Repository Manager (HP VCRM) has been configured using the Change Settings link. After a repository has been configured, the Overall Software Status icon is based on a comparison between the installed software or firmware versions and newest components available from the configured HP VCRM. The overall software status that appears depends on the configuration defined using the Change Settings link. You can configure the Overall Software Status to display a Major status if the server software version does not match the Reference Support Pack version. When both a repository and Reference Support Pack have been configured, the Overall Software Status icon is based on a comparison between the installed software or firmware versions and the software or firmware versions in the Reference Support Pack.
