Release Notes

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
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 Lifecycle
Controller web interface, ensure that the virtual media is attached on the server before BIOS boot.

• 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.
