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.
• To log the update events in the Lifecycle Log, make sure that the installed versions of Lifecycle Controller and
iDRAC are from the same release.
• If Lifecycle Controller and iDRAC are not from the same release, the Lifecycle Log displays blank messages
and messages with a “~” character.
•
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.
•
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.

Issue 2:
Description
While deploying Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 from OS Deployment of Lifecycle Controller, installation stops with
the following error:
There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive \Device\Harddisk0\DR0.
This issue may occur due to any of the following reasons:
• Virtual Media is in the attached state and a media is not mapped.
• Virtual Media is in the auto-attached state and a media is not mapped.
• Virtual Media being presented by the AVCT SIP and Virtual Media from iDRAC8 in the detached state.
• Due to failure to load drivers for RAID controllers on the system.
