210 Using the CMC Web Interface
If the inventory of components and devices does not reflect what is physically
installed on the server, you must invoke the Unified Server Configurator
Console (USC) when the server is in the boot process. This helps to refresh
the internal components and devices information and provides another
means to verify the currently installed components and devices. This
situation occurs when:
• The server iDRAC firmware is updated to newly introduce the Lifecycle
Controller functionality to the server management.
• The new devices have been freshly inserted into the server.
To automate this action, iDRAC Configuration Utility provides an option
that can be accessed through the boot console.
To enable the Lifecycle Controller service during the server boot process:
1
On the boot console, when prompted with the message, Press
<CTRL-E> for Remote Access Setup within 5 sec
, press
<CTRL-E> .
The Setup screen is displayed.
2 On the setup screen, select System Services .
3 Enable Collect System Inventory on Restart .
Whenever the server is restarted, the components and devices information
is refreshed automatically.
Table 5-57 displays the component and devices information on the server:
