Part replacement conguration

Use the Part Replacement feature to automatically update a new part to the rmware version or the conguration of the replaced part, or

both. The update occurs automatically when you reboot your system after replacing the part. It is activated through a license, and can be

disabled remotely using Lifecycle Controller-Remote Services, or through the Lifecycle Controller.

NOTE

: Part replacement does not support RAID operations such as resetting conguration, recreating VDs, setting controller

key, or changing controller mode.

On PowerEdge FD332 servers, part replacement is not supported if a single PERC is replaced with a dual PERC or vice versa.

Applying rmware and conguration updates to replaced parts

Before conguring replaced parts, make sure that the following prerequisites are met:

• Click the Collect System Inventory On Restart option, so that Lifecycle Controller automatically invokes Part Firmware Update and

Part Conguration Update when the system is started.

NOTE

: If Collect System Inventory On Restart is disabled, the cache of system inventory information may become stale if

new components are added without manually entering Lifecycle Controller after turning the system on. In manual mode,

press <F10> after the part replacement during a system restart.

• Make sure that the Disabled option under Part Firmware Update and Part Conguration Update are cleared.

• The replaced card or part must belong to the same family as the previous component.

• If the current adapter on the system is NPAR enabled and is replaced with a new adapter, after the host server is turned on, press

<F2> and select System Setup > Device Settings and make sure that the NPAR is enabled. NPAR must be enabled on the new

adapter before using the Part Replacement feature.
