Release Notes

update date. The updated date and time is displayed on the basis of time zone that is configured on
the server.
• Rollback is not supported for CPLD.
• 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:
