Viewing and Exporting Current Inventory After Resetting Lifecycle

Controller

To view or export the current hardware inventory data after resetting the Lifecycle Controller:

NOTE: After performing Delete Configuration and Reset Defaults, the system shuts down.

1. Turn on the system and wait for a couple of minutes for iDRAC to start functioning.

2. Press <F10> to launch Lifecycle Controller and the system inventory is collected as CSIOR is enabled by default.

3. After Lifecycle Controller launches, go to Hardware Configuration and click View Current Hardware Inventory or

Export Current Hardware Inventory to view or export current hardware inventory respectively. If the following

message is displayed, click

Yes, reboot the system, and retry.

Hardware change is detected on the system. The current hardware inventory

does not contain the latest updates as the hardware inventory update is in

progress. To view or export the latest hardware inventory, relaunch

Lifecycle Controller and retry. Do you want to continue with the old current

hardware inventory information?
