Encountered Exceptions on the VSE Integrity and HP 9000 Licensing Screens If multiple browser windows or tabs are sharing the same user session while performing licensing operations, unexpected exceptions could occur.
Only use separate browser sessions for the same user while performing licensing tasks on the Central Management System.
Refer to the Web Browser Considerations help topic for more information.
Migrating and Applying Permanent Licenses Can Take a Long Time to Complete Migrating old license types via the vselicense command and applying permanent licenses via the licensing screen can take a long time to complete.
Printed statements and a progress bar are presented to indicate an estimated time until completion.
This updates the information in the HP Insight Dynamics VSE and HP VSE Management Software 4.1 Getting Started Guide, the vselicense(1M) manpage, and theVSE Licenses help topic.
Inaccuracies in Related Information Section on Help Assistance Page The Related Information section provided on the standalone (HP SMH) VM Manager and the VSE Management Software help “Assistance” topic include misinformation about online sources for documentation. The pages refer to a non-existent Product Information link at the following locations:
- HP Virtual Server Environment (http://hp.com/go/vse)
- HP Insight Dynamics – VSE (http://www.hp.com/go/insightdynamics)
This should be corrected to instruct the reader to access the online documentation directly at the following websites:
- Documentation for HP Insight Dynamics – VSE and related HP ProLiant software:
  http://www.hp.com/go/insightdynamics/docs
- Documentation for VSE Management Software and related HP Integrity software:
  http://www.docs.hp.com/en/vse.html
NOTE: The list of manuals listed in the Related Information section of these help pages omits the following manual:

Corrections to Procedures for Installing VSE agents to Linux Managed Systems The following are corrections for the VSE Management Software online help “Installing Agents” topic.
- Menu Changed for Installing Linux Agents In the VSE Management Software online help “Installing Agents” topic, the reference in “Install Linux VSE Agents” to the menu item ConfigureConfigure VSE AgentsInstall Integrity Linux Agents... should instead be ConfigureConfigure VSE AgentsInstall Linux Agents.... This affects Procedure 3, “Install Linux Managed System Software from the CMS”.
- Manual Installation of Linux Agents Applies to Both Integrity and ProLiant Linux Systems In the VSE Management Software online help “Installing Agents” topic, the procedure for installing VSE agents manually to Linux managed systems indicates it applies only to Integrity systems. However, the procedure applies to both Integrity and ProLiant Linux systems. The procedure title should be “Procedure 6 Manual Installation of Linux Agents” (instead of “Procedure 6 Manual Installation of Integrity Linux Agents”).
- Incorrect Procedure for Installing VSE Agents Manually to Windows Systems In the VSE Management Software online help “Installing Agents” section, the “Manual Installation of Windows Agents” procedure for installing VSE agents manually to Windows systems is incorrect. To manually install Windows agents, use the following procedure.
  Procedure 2-1 Manual Installation of Windows Agents
  NOTE: To manually install VSE Assist, copy the setupva.exe file from the depot directory on the CMS to the managed system and run it. This is a self-executing installer.
  Copy the desired Windows install files (file.msi) from the depot directory on the CMS to C:\ on the managed system.
  Install the agents software using the msiexec command, as shown in the following example.
  C:\> c: C:\> cd \ C:\> msiexec /I WMIUtilProvider32.msi /norestart
  This installs the agent interactively using the GUI and will prevent a reboot after installation. To install the agent with no interaction (quiet mode) and no GUI, use the /qn options with the msiexec command.
  Repeat the previous steps for each of the agents that you want to install.
Limitations for Japanese Online Help The following limitations exist regarding the Japanese-localized help provided with this release of VSE software:
- The VSE Management Software help is provided in English and Japanese. However, the help for the iCAP Manager product is not localized for Japanese. Only English help is provided for that component.
- There are known problems with the search facility in the Japanese help. Using the search field in the Japanese help may not return a correct list of matching help topics.
  Alternatively, HP recommends using the “Index” link included in the left navigation under each product's list of topics, or the “VSE Master Index” link included in the top section of the left navigation.
