Release Notes

• Sometimes, when using WSMan, an Internal SSL Error is reported and the WSMan command fails. If this happens, retry the command.
• Sometimes, SLES 12 OS installation may fail with an error "Please make sure your installation medium is available. Retry?". Retry the
installation to resolve the issue.
• The command “racadm eventlters get -c idrac.alert.all” to view all available event lter congurations using local RACADM may fail.
Use either rmware RACADM or remote RACADM to run the command.
• While updating or after you update the OS Collector (OSC) package from 1.1 to 2.1, the version number displayed in the iDRAC interface
contains only the number and not the prex 'OSC_'.
• LC supports the following characters for username and password:
Alphabets a-z, A-Z
Numbers 0-9
Special characters - , _ , .
• If LC is open or running while you are updating iDRAC rmware using a tool other than LC, you may notice unexpected behavior. Use
Lifecycle Controller after the rmware is successfully updated.
• If the iDRAC rmware update is interrupted, you may have to wait up to 30 minutes before attempting another rmware update.
• From LC UI, only Windows systems can be deployed by using software RAID controller.
• Firmware update is supported only for LAN on Motherboards (LoM), Network Daughter Cards (NDC), and network adapters from
Broadcom, QLogic, and Intel, and some of the QLogic and Emulex ber channel cards. For the list of supported ber channel cards, see
the LC 2.50.50.50 User’s Guide available at dell.com/idracmanuals.
• After the CPLD rmware is updated on modular systems, the rmware update date is displayed as 2000-01-01 on the View Current
Versions
page. The update date and time is displayed according to the time zone congured on the server.
• On some modular systems, after a rmware update, the Lifecycle Log displays the time-stamp as 1999-12-31 instead of the date on
which the rmware update was performed
• While viewing the current hardware inventory, some properties related to devices installed in PowerEdge VRTX system are not
displayed.
• LC can import and view an iDRAC license but cannot export or delete the iDRAC license. The iDRAC license can be deleted from iDRAC
GUI.
• The iSCSI ooad attribute can be enabled only on two of the four available ports. If a card, which has this attribute enabled on two of
its ports, is replaced with another card that has the attribute enabled on the other two ports, an error occurs. The rmware does not
allow the attribute to be set because it is already set on the other two ports.
• Windows operating systems support both the manual and unattended installation features. However, Lifecycle Controller supports the
unattended installation feature for Windows and RHEL-7 operating systems only.
• VLAN Conguration is not supported on all vendor FC cards and the following Emulex cards.
– Emulex OneConnect OCe14102-U1-D 2-port PCle 10GbE CNA
– Emulex OneConnect OCm14104-U1-D 4-port 10GbE rNDC CNA

• LC displays two drive names for some CDs or DVDs, such as the ones containing operating systems.
• Network operations such as Update, Export, or Import may take more time than expected. The delay may occur because the source or
destination share is not reachable or does not exist, or due to other network issues.
• If the operating system (OS) selected for installation and the OS on the media used are dierent, LC displays a warning message.
However, while installing Windows OS, the warning message appears only when the bit count (x86 or x64) of the OS does not match.
For example, if Windows Server 2008 x64 is selected for installation and Windows Server 2008 x86 media is used, the warning is
displayed.
• LC does not support OS deployment on Dell Precision Workstation R7920.
• When NPAR is enabled, the port numbers displayed on the LC Network Settings page (Settings > Network Settings) do not match
the port numbers displayed on the Device Settings page (
System Setup > Advanced Hardware Conguration > Device Settings).
• Lifecycle Controller supports OS deployment on bootable devices (systems without a RAID controller) in the BIOS mode only.
• In the Spanish help page, the word encrypted is incorrectly translated as scripted in Step 3 OS deployment.
