Release Notes

• You cannot start iDRAC after updating the NIC firmware because the update process resets NDC. To
resolve this issue, reset iDRAC after updating the NIC firmware.
• When iDRAC NIC is in shared mode and the host system is power cycled, the network connection is lost
for a few seconds. During this time, if you perform any action in the active VNC client, the VNC session
may close. You must wait for time out (value configured for the VNC Server settings in the Services page in
iDRAC Web interface) and then re-establish the VNC connection.
• The ports 6000-6063 are reserved for x-server display. Hence, any service configured with these ports on
iDRAC is unsuccessful. Use ports other than 6000 to 6063 to configure the service.
• On the DSS 1500, DSS 1510 and DSS 2500 systems, clicking the Intrusion sensor link in the iDRAC web
interface displays an Intrusion sensor not available error because an Intrusion sensor is not available on
these systems.
• The timeout value for snmpwalk must be greater than 60 seconds under stress conditions.
LC GUI – Fixes
None.
LC GUI – Important Notes
• This release note is the latest and overrides the release note available on the LC GUI.
• The drivers exposed by Lifecycle Controller are present in a read-only hard disk drive, labeled OEMDRV,
which are active for 18 hours. During this period:
o You cannot update any DUP.
o Lifecycle Controller cannot invoke CSIOR.
However, if an AC power cycle (cold boot) is performed, the OEMDRV drive is automatically deleted.
• CPLD firmware update has no impact on Trusted Platform Module enablement.
• On the basis of virtual storage device type attached through iDRAC, that is, USB drive or CD/.ISO file,
Lifecycle Controller will display Virtual Floppy or Virtual CD respectively.
• If Test Network Connection fails for a valid address, try configuring the network settings again. If the issue
persists, restart the system and retry the operation.
• When you reset or update iDRAC, you must reboot Lifecycle Controller if it is launched already. If you fail
to reboot, Lifecycle Controller displays an unexpected behavior.
• On PowerEdge FC630, PowerEdge FC830, and PowerEdge FC430 systems, part replacement is not
supported if a single PERC (FD332) is replaced with a dual PERC (FD332) or vice versa.
• After performing firmware update or rollback operations using Lifecycle Controller the host is rebooted by
default, reboot the host server again to display the updated firmware versions in the Hardware
Configuration wizard.
• To record updates in the Lifecycle Log, ensure that Lifecycle Controller and iDRAC are from the same
release. If Lifecycle Controller and iDRAC are not from the same release, the Lifecycle Log displays either
blank messages or messages with a “~” character.
• When you update the Backplane Expander Firmware on PowerEdge R920 to version 0.33 or 2.03, the
comparison page displays only one expander entry. However, the update process happens on both the
expanders.
• Fibre channel NIC cards with dual or four ports are displayed as a single port card in Lifecycle Controller.
However, all ports are updated when a firmware update is performed.
• The option to enable or disable the disk cache policy for SWRAID controllers are supported only on
SWRAID controller driver version 4.1.0-0025 or later.
