Lifecycle Controller log
Lifecycle Controller Log provides a record of past activities on a managed system. Using the Lifecycle Log wizard, you can view and export
life cycle log, and add a work note to a log history. The log contains the following:
• Firmware update history based on device, version, and date and time.
• Events based on category, severity, and date and time.
• User comments history based on date and time.
NOTE
: On PowerEdge FM120x4 servers, the Lifecycle Log may display CPU not detected after the system prole is
changed.
NOTE: If you initiate conguration jobs using RACADM CLI or iDRAC web interface, the Lifecycle log displays information about
the user, interface used, and the IP address of the system from which you initiate the job.
