* Indicates that though a system restart is not required, iDRAC must be restarted to apply the updates.

iDRAC communication and monitoring will temporarily be interrupted.

** When iDRAC is updated from version 1.30.30 or later, a system restart is not necessary. However,

firmware versions of iDRAC earlier than 1.30.30 require a system restart when applied using the out-of-

band interfaces.

All Lifecycle Controller updates are scheduled for immediate execution. However, the system services

can delay this execution sometimes. In such situations, the update fails as a result of the remote share

that is hosted by the CMC being no longer available.

All the LC component updates become effective immediately. However, in some cases, system services

can delay the time taken for becoming effective. In such cases, the update is unsuccessful because of the

remote share that is hosted by CMC not being available anymore.
