Managing Part Replacement
The Part Replacement feature provides an automatic update of firmware, or
configuration, or both of a newly replaced component, such as a PowerEdge
RAID controller, NIC or power supply, to match that of the original part. This
feature is disabled by default and may be enabled if required. It is a licensed
feature and requires the Dell vFlash SD card. When a component is replaced
and the Part Replacement feature is enabled, the actions taken by the
Lifecycle Controller are displayed locally on the system monitor.
The presence of the vFlash SD card and configuration of Part Replacement
related properties can be accomplished remotely through the Web services
interface using the WS-Management protocol. For examples of command
line invocations using various WS-management capable utilities, see the
Lifecycle Controller Web Services Interface Guide–Windows and Linux version.
DCIM Profile specification and related MOF files are available at Dell
TechCenter wiki in the DCIM Extension Library area (delltechcenter.com).
