Lifecycle Controller job operations

NOTE: To use this feature, you must have an Enterprise License.

You can perform Lifecycle Controller operations such as:

• Re-install

• Rollback

• Update

• Delete Jobs

Only one type of operation can be performed at a time. Components and devices that are not supported

may be listed as part of the inventory, but do not permit Lifecycle Controller operations.

To perform the Lifecycle Controller operations, you must have:

• For CMC: Server Administrator privilege.

• For iDRAC: Configure iDRAC privilege and Log in to iDRAC.

A Lifecycle Controller operation scheduled on a server may take 10 to 15 minutes to complete. The

process involves several server reboots during which the firmware installation is performed, which also

includes a firmware verification stage. You can view the progress of this process using the server console.

If there are several components or devices that need to be updated on a server, you can consolidate all

the updates into one scheduled operation thus minimizing the number of reboots required.

Sometimes, when an operation is in the process of being submitted for scheduling through another

session or context, another operation is attempted. In this case, a confirmation message is displayed

indicating the situation and the operation must not be submitted. Wait for the operation in process to

complete and then submit the operation again.

Do not navigate away from the page after an operation is submitted for scheduling. If an attempt is made,

a confirmation message is displayed allowing the intended navigation to be cancelled. Otherwise, the

operation is interrupted. An interruption, especially during an update operation may cause the firmware

image file upload to be terminated before proper completion. After an operation has been submitted for

scheduling, ensure that the confirmation message indicating that the operation has been successfully

scheduled is acknowledged.
