Release Notes

However, if an AC power cycle (cold boot) is performed, the OEMDRV drive is automatically deleted.
3. CPLD firmware update has no impact on Trusted Platform Module enablement.
4. Depending on the virtual storage device attached through iDRAC, that is, USB drive or CD/DVD .ISO file, LC displays Virtual Floppy or
Virtual CD respectively.
5. If Test Network Connection fails for a valid address, try configuring the network settings again. If the issue persists, restart the system
and retry the operation.
6. When you reset or update the iDRAC, you must reboot LC if it is launched already. If you fail to reboot, LC may behave unexpectedly.
7. On PowerEdge FC630, PowerEdge FC830, and PowerEdge FC430 systems, part replacement is not supported if a single PERC
(FS332) is replaced with a dual PERC (FD332) or vice-versa.
8. After performing a firmware update or rollback operations from LC, the host is rebooted by default. Reboot the host server again to
display the updated firmware versions in the View Current Versions wizard.
9. When you update a 12th generation PowerEdge server backplane-expander firmware for PowerEdge R920 firmware to version 0.33 or
2.03, the comparison page displays only one expander entry. However, firmware for both the expanders is updated.
10. Fibre channel NIC cards with two or four ports are displayed as a single port card in Lifecycle Controller. However, all ports are
updated when a firmware update is performed.
11. The option to enable or disable the disk cache policy for SWRAID controllers is supported only on SWRAID controller driver version
4.1.0-0025 or later.
12. ResetKeys under Action in the SecureBoot resource is available only on systems with supported BIOS.
13. The SecureBoot navigation link is available under Computer System only if the SecureBoot feature is supported by the BIOS installed
on the system.
14. Rollback is not supported for CPLD.
15. The certificate warning message that is displayed during an HTTPS transaction is due to the server presenting a certificate issued by
an entity that is not trusted by the system, or certificate that is presented by the server is expired.
Limitations
• If Flex Address is enabled on Chassis Management Controllers (CMC), iDRAC and LC do not display the same MAC addresses. To
view the chassis-assigned MAC address, use the iDRAC web interface or the CMC web interface. Go to General > Network Settings.
• Lifecycle Controller may go into an infinite loop when a network operation is tried with an incorrect NFS share name. Restart Lifecycle
Controller and retry the operation with the correct NFS share name details.
• If NPAR is enabled, LC might show unexpected behavior when configuring network settings. Disable NPAR option and execute the
network setting configurations. To disable the NPAR option, go to System Setup > Device Setting.
• The process of retrieving IPv6 address from the DHCP server with VLAN connection takes a few minutes. Wait for a few minutes and
check the Network Settings page to view the assigned IPv6 address.
• Deployment of Windows Server operating systems using LC may fail with one of the following message:
○ Windows installation cannot continue because a required driver could not be installed.
○ Product key required.
○ Windows cannot find the software license terms.
This happens when the Windows setup copies the driver to the scratch space (X: drive) and the scratch space becomes full. To
resolve this issue, do any of the following:
○ Remove all the installed add-on devices before starting the OS installation. After the OS installation is complete, connect the add-
on devices and manually install the remaining drivers using Dell Update Packages (DUPs).
○ To avoid physically removing the hardware, disable the PCle slots in the BIOS.
○ Increase scratch space size beyond 32 MB using DISM set-scratchspace command when creating customized deployment.
For more details, see Microsoft's documentation.
• 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 firmware using a tool other than LC, you may notice unexpected behavior. Use
Lifecycle Controller after the firmware is successfully updated.
• If the iDRAC firmware update is interrupted, you may have to wait up to 30 minutes before attempting another firmware update.
• From LC UI, only Windows systems can be deployed by using software RAID controller.
