42 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) is not configurable 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 Yo u c a n :
• Add new controllers and define rules for them, or edit the default
controller and define the rules. For more information, see Controllers.
• Add or edit variable conditions for the default controller or the
controller that you add. For more information, see Variable
Conditions.
• Create new arrays from a variable condition, if required. For more
information, see Arrays.
• You can create an array, add additional disks, hot spares, or global hot
spares to the array.

About Creating Array Builder
When you use the RAID profile that you created using Array Builder as part
of the operating system deployment of DLCI for Configuration Manager, 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 the array controllers are configured.
Rules are processed in the order displayed in the Array Builder tree, so you
know exactly which rules have priority.
