catalog file name is changed then the new name must be entered in this field.

For more information, see the CMC Online Help.

Lifecycle Controller Job Operations
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 privilege.
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.
