Release Notes

Fixes
The following problems were reported in earlier releases of Dell Lifecycle Controller Integration and have
been corrected in this release: Optional content as applicable to release:
• Dell Lifecycle Controller Configuration Package does not have the manufacturer details. For
example: Limitations (such as backflashig req’d, min memory capacity, etc.)
• AutoDicovery - License warning messages are not logged in SCCM with DLCU and DPS on same
box
Important Notes
• DLCI 3.0 has minimum pre-requisite of Windows Server 2008 SP2 for the site systems and server
running Dell Provisioning Service (DPS).
• To update Dell’s 11th generation of PowerEdge firmware using FTP, first upgrade to DLCI 2.2 as
DLCI 2.1 cannot update the LC and iDRAC for Dell’s 11th generation of PowerEdge servers using
the latest FTP.
• When you deploy an operating system on a target system with iDRAC configured in a shared
network mode, the Windows PE environment may fail to startup on the network drivers, causing
the system to restart before reaching the task sequence.
• If the Lifecycle Controller of a system is in use, the system is not discovered.
• If the iDRAC version is older than the supported versions in any of the target systems, the Boot
to vFlash option in the Deploy Operating Systems workflow may fail.
• When you are deploying an operating system using the Launch Config utility, the
advertisements of the task sequence are not displayed on the screen.
• If the target system has an older version of BIOS that does not support a particular method, the
following error message is displayed in the DLCTaskManager.log file: “Installed BIOS version
does not support this Method.”
• If the Lifecycle Controller of the target system is locked by another process, the following error
message is displayed in the DLCTaskManager.log file: “Lifecycle Controller is being used by
another process.”
• If you do not enter the service tag name of the target system correctly, the discovery and
handshake fails and the following error message is displayed: “[Server Name] - Handshake -
getCredentialsInternal():[Server Name]: NOT AUTHORIZED: No credentials returned.”
• During Discovery and Handshake, the DPS.log displays an empty Site code: followed by a
cryptography exception. They can be ignored.
• During Discovery and Handshake, the DPS.log displays numerous messages such as
“createDellCollecions() Either Connection Mgr param is NULL or Collection not yet created.”
These messages can be ignored.
• The System Viewer utility does not display the latest RAID configuration. To view the latest
configuration, re-launch the System Viewer utility.
• The modular systems cannot use the hostname in the path to the Common Internet File System
(CIFS) share, but monolithic systems can use the hostname. Use the IP address instead of
hostname.
• After deploying Non-Windows Operating System using DLCI the service tag of system name is
displayed as Hostname in configuration manager console.
Limitations
• Before upgrading to DLCI version 3.0, make sure that all the scheduled firmware update jobs are
either completed or deleted.
