Upgrading Dell Lifecycle Controller Integration for
Configuration Manager from a previous version
NOTE:
• Before upgrading to the latest version of Configuration Manager from a previous version of Configuration Manager,
you must first uninstall DLCI, and delete the boot images. After upgrading the Configuration Manager to the latest
version, install DLCI. For information about upgrading Configuration Manager from previous versions, see
technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj822981.aspx.
• DLCI for Configuration Manager supports upgrading only from version 3.0 to later versions.
If you have lower version installed, you must first uninstall the lower version and then install version 3.1. When you
uninstall the lower version, the previous settings are not retained and you must rediscover the target systems after
you install version 3.1. For example, as DLCI for Configuration Manager does not support upgrade from DLCI 2.2 to
DLCI 3.1, uninstall DLCI 2.2 and then install DLCI 3.1.
• While upgrading to DLCI 3.1 from DLCI 3.0, if you want to make a configuration change such as, adding or deleting
SMS providers, you must uninstall DLCI 3.0, make the configuration change, and then install DLCI 3.1.
