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

monitoring are temporarily interrupted.

** When iDRAC is updated from version 1.30.30 or later, a system restart is not necessary. However, rmware 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 eective immediately. However, sometimes, system services can delay the time taken for becoming

eective. In such cases, the update is unsuccessful because of non-availability of the remote share that is hosted by CMC.
