Configuring target systems
DLCI for Configuration Manager supports only yx1x systems and later. For each system in the collection, enable Collect System
Inventory on Restart (CSIOR) in the iDRAC settings.
NOTE: In the server name format yx1x; y denotes alphabets, for example M, R, or T; and x denotes numbers.
By default, CSIOR is OFF. The part replacement feature provides the option to set the CSIOR.
To enable CSIOR on multiple systems, see Configuring part replacement properties for a system on page 57.
To enable CSIOR for earlier server generations:
1. Restart the system.
2. During Power-on Self-Test (POST), when the system prompts you to enter the iDRAC Utility, press <CTRL>< E>.
3. Select System Services from the options available and press <Enter>.
4. Select Collect System Inventory on Restart and press the right or down keys and set it to Enabled.
To enable CSIOR for Dell’s 12th and later generation of PowerEdge
servers:
1. Select <F2> during POST to enter System Setup.
2. Select iDRAC Settings and click Lifecycle Controller.
3. Select Collect system inventory on Restart (CISOR).
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 Devices Collections in Configuration Manager Version 1610, Configuration Manager 2012 SP2, Configuration
Manager 2012 R2 SP1, Configuration Manager 2012 R2, Configuration Manager 2012 SP1, or 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.
● Managed Dell Lifecycle Controller (OS Unknown) — displays the systems on which the operating system is not
deployed.
NOTE:
○ DLCI for Configuration Manager does not support auto-discovery of modular systems with flex-addressing.
○ Duplicate collections may get created when Auto-Discovery and Import Dell Server operations are done
simultaneously. Dell recommends that you delete duplicate DLCI Collections.
