Controller. All the features of previous version of
Dell Lifecycle Controller Integration are supported
for 12th generation or 11th generation PowerEdge
servers.
A single installer to install and configure Dell
Lifecycle Controller Integration
You can use the single installer to install DLCI 3.0
in environments (Configuration Manager 2012,
Configuration Manager 2012 SP1, or Configuration
2012 R2) based on the version of Configuration
Manager present in the system. If a DLCI 2.2 is
present, then the installer initiates an upgrade. The
installer deploys appropriate components based on
the Configuration Manager version.
Automatically configure Dell Provisioning Server To automatically configure Dell Provisioning Server
for non-administrator users, select the
Automatically configure Dell Provisioning Server
user permissions option during installation.

system or a collection.

Configure network interface cards (NICs) and

The saved profiles can later be applied to the
collection as part of the hardware configuration or
operating system deployment, or both.
You can also compare the applied NIC/CNA
profiles against the NIC/CNA configurations of the
systems and generate comparison reports.
