1 Introduction Dell Lifecycle Controller provides advanced embedded systems management to perform systems management tasks such as deploy, configure, update, maintain, and diagnose. It is delivered as part of integrated Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC) out-of-band solution and embedded Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) applications [...]

Operating System device drivers directly on the server. This eliminates the media-based system management tools and utilities traditionally needed for systems management. The benefits include: • Increased Uptime — Early notification of potential or actual failures that help prevent a server failure or reduce recovery time after a failure. • I[...]

• Delete server-related information • View the managed system using Physical Computer System View • Manage the web server certificate • Configure the USB management port • View embedded tech support report to resolve business-critical issues • Configure storage devices in real time • Replace motherboard using Import Server Profile fea[...]

It was delivered as part of the iDRAC (Express and Enterprise licenses, and vFlash SD card feature) starting with the 11th generation of Dell PowerEdge servers. On 12th and 13th generation of PowerEdge servers, the vFlash feature is included with the iDRAC Enterprise license, so you need not separately license vFlash with Lifecycle Controller 2.0 a[...]

Lifecycle controller also supports local one-to-one system management tasks through a graphical user interface (GUI) using the server’s KVM or the Virtual Console in iDRAC for operating system installation, updates, configuration, and for running diagnostics on single and local servers. This eliminates the need for multiple option ROMs for hardwa[...]

• The WS-MAN profile documents available at Dell TechCenter ( delltechcenter.com/lc ) provides detailed information about the WS-Man commands used to perform Lifecycle Controller related tasks. • The Lifecycle Controller Release Notes provides last-minute updates to the system or documentation or advanced technical reference material intended f[...]

2 Remote Services Features Using Lifecycle Controller-Remote Services, you can perform the following operations: • Deploy and Configure • Monitor • Maintain • Create and schedule jobs Deployment and configuration Using various Lifecycle Controller-Remote Services' capabilities, you can perform different configurations on a system throu[...]

controller properties and attributes are divided into views to provide a simple methodology for the clients to query the iDRAC views and set the iDRAC attributes. You can perform the following operations: • Retrieve current iDRAC configuration and inventory • Get and set any configurable iDRAC attribute • Manage iDRAC user accounts RAID confi[...]

NOTE: On Dell’s 13th generation PowerEdge server, you can now perform all RAID configuration jobs in real-time without rebooting the host. For more information on RAID configuration, see the SimpleRaid profile document available at en.community.dell.com/techcenter/systems-management/w/wiki/1906.dcim-library-profile.aspx . Also, see the iDRAC User[...]

• Deploy operating system on iSCSI and FCoE LUN. Near Field Communication (NFC) using the QuickSync feature Using the QuickSync feature, you can: • View basic server information such as Service Tag, MAC address, NIC data, firmware versions, operating system, and so on. • View log and monitoring information of a server. • Configure network p[...]

Configuring USB management port On the 13th generation of PowerEdge servers monitored by iDRAC, you can perform the following functions on a USB port and USB drive: • Manage the status of the server’s USB management port. If the status is disabled, iDRAC does not process a USB device or host connected to the managed USB port. • Configure the [...]

Easy Restore and Part Replacement will not contain the latest information when CSIOR is disabled. In- band tools such as OMSA and DTK cannot configure BIOS when CSIOR is disabled. Also, system information reported from out-of-band interfaces such as WS-MAN and RACADM may not have correct information. Hardware inventory The hardware inventory inform[...]

• User login to any iDRAC interface For more information about Event and Error Messages, see the Dell Event Message Reference Guide available at dell.com/support/home . System event log The Lifecycle Log contains events related to system, storage devices, network devices, firmware updates, configuration changes, license messages, and so on. Howev[...]

Out-of-band server performance monitoring Using this feature, you can monitor the performance index of CPU, memory, and I/O. Intel ME supports Compute Usage Per Second (CUPS) functionality for monitoring the performance. The monitoring is independent of the OS and does not use CPU resources. The Intel ME displays a platform CUPS sensor that provide[...]

For more information about automatic update, see Automatic Updates in Dell PowerEdge 12th Generation Servers white paper available at Dell TechCenter . Part replacement The Part Replacement feature is used to automatically update a firmware, configuration, or both for a newly replaced component, such as a RAID controller, NIC, or power supply, to m[...]

Retire or repurpose the server By using the Retire or Repurpose feature, the server-related data such as system configuration, logs, PowerEdge RAID Controller Non-Volatile (PERC NV) cache (if available), and other data that are stored on a server can be deleted. iDRAC license cannot be deleted by using this feature. Log in to the Lifecycle Controll[...]
