40 Using Dell Lifecycle Controller Integration
• Fail the task only if the first controller does not match a
configuration rule
- Reports a failure if the first controller detected
(usually the embedded controller) cannot be configured by a rule.
• Fail the task only if none of the array controllers match a
configuration rule -
Reports a failure only if all of the controllers in
the system fail to match a rule; in other words, none of the controllers
are configured. This rule also fails if a controller does not have
sufficient disks to configure a RAID.
4 Add new controllers and define rules for them, or edit the default
controller and define the rules. For more information, see
Controllers.
5 Add or edit variable conditions for the default controller or the controller
that you add. For more information, see
Variable Conditions.
6 Create new arrays from a variable condition, if required. For more
information, see
Arrays.
7 If you create an array, add additional disks, hot spares or global hot spares
to the array.
8 Click Save to save the profile as a .XML file.
You can also import an existing profile and modify the configurations using
the Array Builder. For more information on importing a profile, see
Importing
a Profile

About Creating Array Builder
When you use the RAID profile that you created using Array Builder as part
of the operating system deployment of Dell Lifecycle Controller Integration
for ConfigMgr, it detects the existing controller(s) on the server as well as the
disks attached to each controller. It then tries to match the physical
configuration(s) that the utility detected, to the logical configurations you
defined in the configuration rules. These array configuration rules are defined
using a graphical, logical layout that allows you to visualize how your array
controllers will be configured. Rules are processed in the order displayed in
the Array Builder tree, so you know exactly which rules have priority.
Controllers
Controller elements contain variable condition elements. Controllers can be
one of several configuration types:
• The embedded controller
