42 Using Dell Lifecycle Controller Integration
Deleting a Controller
To delete a controller:
1 Select the controller and click Controllers  Delete Controller . A warning
informing that all the attached arrays and disks will be deleted is displayed.
2 Click Yes to delete or No to cancel.
NOTE: There must be at least one controller present on the server. If there is only
one controller and you delete it, a message is displayed that the default controller
was inserted because the last controller was deleted.
Variable Conditions
To provide the ability to use the same RAID configuration in multiple logical
configurations, variable evaluation is provided so that a different
configuration for arrays and logical drives can be applied to different
situations.
Variable condition elements contain arrays and global hot spares, and are of
two types:
• No variables defined : This is the default configuration inserted with every
controller, and cannot be removed or moved from last in the order.
• Vari able s d e fi ned : This is where any variable is compared to a value using
one of the pre-defined operators.
NOTE: Dell Lifecycle Controller Integration for ConfigMgr does not support
variables created in an encrypted format.
Adding a New Variable Condition
To add a new variable condition:
1 Under an embedded controller, expand Embedded Controller , and select
[No variable conditions defined] .
2 Click Va r ia b l es  New Variable Condition . The Variable Condition
Configuration
window is displayed.
3 Under Variable Matching Criteria , you can set a rule to apply this variable
only if it matches certain criteria that you select.
4 Click OK to apply the variable condition, or Cancel to return to the Array
Builder
.
