Auto-Discovery And Handshake
The auto-discovery and handshake feature enables the iDRAC on target
systems to locate the provisioning service and establish communication with
the Site Server. The Dell Provisioning service provisions a management
account and updates Configuration Manager with the new system. The Dell
Lifecycle Controller Utility (DLCU) for Configuration Manager uses the
provisioned account to communicate with the iDRAC of target systems, to
invoke the enabled features.
After DLCI for Configuration Manager discovers a system with iDRAC, it
creates the All Dell Lifecycle Controller Servers collection under Computer
Management Collections in the Configuration Manager 2007 and under
Devices in Configuration Manager 2012. There are two sub-collections within
the collection:
• Managed Dell Lifecycle Controller (OS Deployed) — displays the
systems on which you have deployed the operating system.
