Release Notes

• 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 fiber channel cards. For the list of supported fiber channel cards,
see the LC 2.60.60.60 User’s Guide available at dell.com/idracmanuals.
• After the CPLD firmware is updated on modular systems, the firmware 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 configured on the server.
• On some modular systems, after a firmware update, the Lifecycle Log displays the time-stamp as 1999-12-31 instead of the date on
which the firmware 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 offload 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 firmware 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 Configuration 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
○ Emulex OneConnect OCm14102-U5-D 2-port 10GbE Mezz CNA
○ Emulex OneConnect OCm14102-U4-D 2-port 10GbE bNDC CNA
○ Emulex OneConnect OCe14102-N1-D 2-port PCle 10GbE NIC
○ Emulex OneConnect OCm14104-N1-D 4-port 10GbE rNDC CNA
○ Emulex OneConnect OCm14102-N5-D 2-port 10GbE Mezz CNA
○ Emulex OneConnect OCm14102-N6-D 2-port 10GbE bNDC CNA
• LC displays two or more 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 different, 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 Configuration > 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.
• Operating system installation might fail if the server has only PCle NVMe SSD drives and if you have selected BIOS as boot mode. If
server has both RAID and non-RAID hard disks (NVMe SSD), it displays the RAID configuration option. However, the non-RAID disks
are not displayed on RAID configuration page.
• When you update the firmware on a Broadcom NetXtreme and QLogic BCM57xx and BCM57xxx (previously known as Broadcom
NetXtreme ||) adapters, the following issue occurs: After installing the QLogic-specific firmware update package on the BCM57xx or
BCM57xxx adapter family, the rollback version is not available if the previously installed firmware was provided by a legacy shared
firmware update package. However, if the legacy shared firmware version is available as a rollback version for the Broadcom
NetXtreme adapter, then the same version will be available for the QLogic BCM57xx and BCM57xxx adapters.
The issue occurs because separate firmware update packages are provided for the Broadcom NetXtreme adapters and QLogic
BCM57xx and BCM57xxx adapters due to the acquisition of the Broadcom NetXtreme || cards by QLogic. Prior to the acquisition, a
common shared firmware update package was provided.
• The following Intel cards do not support firmware rollback and may not display all the ports on the Comparison page while updating the
firmware:
○ Intel Ethernet Converged Network Adapter X710 - Quad Port
○ Intel Ethernet Converged Network Adapter X710 - Dual Port
○ Intel Ethernet Converged Network Adapter XL710
○ Intel Ethernet 10G 4P X710/1350 rNDC
○ Intel Ethernet 10G 4P X710 SFP + rNDC
○ Intel Ethernet 10G 4P X710-k bNDC
○ Intel Ethernet 10G 2P X710-k bNDC
○ Intel Ethernet 40G 2P XL710 QSFP + rNDC
○ Intel Gigabit I350-t LOM
