Release Notes

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
• While installing the operating system on Dell 12th generation of PowerEdge servers by using

LC-RS - Limitations
• 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.
• You may see a no optical device found error if you have a non-usable DVD/CD in the optical
drive. This error does not mean that there are no optical devices on the system. If you remove the
non-usable media, then this error is resolved.
• To maintain compatibility with other iDRAC configuration tools, it is recommended that only
digits (0-9), alphanumeric (a-z, A-Z) and hyphen (-) characters be used when entering a “Name” or
