Upgrade
The Lifecycle Controller is a service available on each of the servers and is facilitated by iDRAC. The Server
Component Update page enables you to manage the firmware of the components and devices on the
servers using the Lifecycle Controller service. The Lifecycle Controller uses an optimization algorithm to
update the firmware in the most efficient manner that reduces the number of reboots. Before using the
Lifecycle Controller based update feature, update the server firmware versions.
Refer to the "Prerequisites" section for the proper version numbers. The modules should be updated in the
following order:
- BIOS
- Lifecycle Controller
- iDRAC6
NOTE: Before you update the server component firmware modules listed above, you must update CMC
firmware.
NOTE: To update firmware using Lifecycle Controller, iDRAC firmware must be of version 2.3 or greater.
If manually updating firmware using Dell Update Packages (DUPs), the firmware should be updated in the
following order:
- BIOS
- Lifecycle Controller
- iDRAC6
NOTE: To update iDRAC firmware to 3.0 or greater from an iDRAC version less than 2.3, you must first
update the iDRAC firmware to version 2.3 before updating to version 3.0 or greater.
Open Issues and Resolutions
Fixed Issu es/def
• Versions 6.0 and 7.0 of Mozilla Firefox Web Browser do not support IPv6 addresses.
You must use URLs that contain a registered hostname to access a CMC or an iDRAC Server that has
an IPv6 address. A CMC or an iDRAC Server that also has an IPv4 address is supported.
• Non-English versions of the Online Help for power configuration pages incorrectly state that the
required privilege for changing power configuration settings is "Chassis Control Administrator."
The correct privilege is "Chassis Configuration Administrator."
