Release Notes

• On some modular systems, after a firmware update, the Lifecycle Log displays the date in the time stamp as
1999-12-31, instead of the date on which Firmware Update was performed.
•
Some properties related to devices installed in PowerEdge VRTX system are not displayed while viewing the
current hardware inventory.
•
Lifecycle Controller can import and view an iDRAC license, but it cannot export or delete the iDRAC license.
•
The iSCSI offload feature can be enabled only on two of the available four ports. If the iSCSI offload attribute
is enabled on a card, and is replaced by another card whose iSCSI offload mode is also enabled on the other
two ports, an error is thrown. The firmware will not allow the attribute to be set, because it is already set on the
other two ports.
•
Windows OS supports both the manual installation 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:
o
Emulex OneConnect OCe14102-U1-D 2-port PCIe 10GbE CNA
o Emulex OneConnect OCm14104-U1-D 4-port 10GbE rNDC CNA
o
Emulex OneConnect OCm14102-U5-D 2-port 10GbE Mezz CNA
o
Emulex OneConnect OCm14102-U4-D 2-port 10GbE bNDC CNA
o
Emulex OneConnect OCe14102-N1-D 2-port PCIe 10GbE NIC
o
Emulex OneConnect OCm14104-N1-D 4-port 10GbE rNDC NIC
o
Emulex OneConnect OCm14102-N5-D 2-port 10GbE Mezz NIC
o
Emulex OneConnect OCm14102-N6-D 2-port 10GbE bNDC NIC
•
Lifecycle Controller displays two drive names for some CDs or DVDs such as the one 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.
•
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.
•
Operating system installation might fail if the server has only PCIe NVMe SSD drives, and if you have
selected BIOS as boot mode. If the 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 the RAID configuration
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
