The CVA file extension stands for HP Systems Software Manager Information File. This type of file is created by Firmware Software Manager (FSM) to provide detailed information on individual components that make up a system firmware package. A FSM package contains the instructions necessary to install or uninstall software on HP media, such as hard drives, RAIDs, optical storage, and network adapters.
Disk Ownership Information and Metadata
A CVA file typically contains the current ownership information and metadata for a disk including update history, operating systems versions, service pack numbers, revision status, bootable flag parameters, other component settings, driver information, or service availability. It is often used to store additional information regarding the disk's ownership. The CVA file can also be used to store power-on readings from various devices such as system boards or peripheral memory.
Similar File Extensions
CVA files are often associated with similar file extensions such as .BFF, .PIK, and .DVF. All these files are used to store data related to system updating and firmware management.
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .CVA) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .CVA extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .CVA file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .CVA extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .CVA extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .CVA file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .CVA file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .CVA file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .CVA file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .CVA file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
