Release Notes

• Lifecycle Controller displays a warning message if the operating system selected for installation and the
operating system on the media used are different. However, while installing Windows operating systems, the
warning message appears only when the bit count (x86 or x64) of the operating system does not match. For
example, when Windows Server 2008 x64 is selected for installation and Windows Server 2003 x64 media is
inserted,
• Lifecycle Controller proceeds with the installation without displaying a warning message.
•
Lifecycle Controller does not support operating system deployment on Dell Precision workstation R7910.
•
When NPAR is enabled, the port numbers displayed on the Lifecycle Controller Network Settings page
(
Settings -> Network Settings ) do not match with the port numbers displayed on the Device Settings page
(
System Setup -> Advanced Hardware Configuration -> Device Settings ).
•
The word encrypted is incorrectly translated as scripted in the Step 3 OS deployment Spanish help page.

When you update the firmware on a Broadcom NetXtreme and QLogic BCM57xx and BCM57xxx
(previously known as Broadcom NetXtreme II) adapters the following issue occurs:
o 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.
This 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 II
cards by QLogic. Prior to the acquisition, a common shared firmware update package was provided.
• The following Intel network cards do not display all ports on the Comparison page during a firmware
update and also do not support rollback:
o
Intel(R) Ethernet Converged Network Adapter X710 - Quad Port
o
Intel(R) Ethernet Converged Network Adapter X710 - Dual Port
o
Intel(R) Ethernet 10G 4P X710/I350 rNDC
o
Intel(R) Ethernet 10G 4P X710 SFP+ rNDC
o
Intel(R) Ethernet 10G 4P X710-k bNDC
o
Intel(R) Ethernet 10G 2P X710-k bNDC
• Part replacement feature is not supported for PCIe SSD devices.

• The drivers exposed by Lifecycle Controller are present in a read-only device labeled OEMDRV, and the
device is active for 18 hours. In a Microsoft(r) Windows(r) and Linux environment, the drivers are
automatically installed and no further action is required. In Red Hat Enterprise Linux version 4.8 only, the
drivers are not automatically installed and you have to install the drivers manually after the OS installation
has been completed.
•
If the boot mode is set to UEFI in BIOS (F2 setup) and if you launch System Services (FlO) and Deploy OS,
the installation may fail or you may not be able to boot to the OS after the installation. Always make sure that
the boot mode is set to BIOS in F2 setup before launching Lifecycle Controller and deploying the OS.
