Owner's Manual

Important Notes
• 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:
− You cannot update any DUP.
− 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.
