support for Auto-Discovery. There are several options for enabling the
network environment to support discovery of the Provisioning Server host by
unprovisioned servers.
One of the following prerequisites must be met for the Auto-Discovery
feature to work properly:
• The DHCP server provides a comma separated list of Provisioning Server
locations using a vendor scope option of class LifecycleController option 1.
These locations can be a hostname or IP address and optionally include a
port. The iDRAC will resolve the hostname of the management console to
an IP address with a DNS lookup.
• The DNS server specifies a service option
_dcimprovsrv._tcp
that
will resolve to an IP address.
• The DNS server specifies an IP address for a server with the known name
DCIMCredentialServer
.
For more information on configuring DHCP and DNS, see Lifecycle
Controller Auto Discovery Network Setup Specification on the Dell Enterprise
Technology Center at delltechcenter.com/page/Lifecycle+Controller.
