Fixes
The following problems were reported in earlier releases of Dell Lifecycle Controller Integration and have been
corrected in this release:
 Platform Restore: The Platform backup Prefix used are not getting saved and not available while
restoring.
Important Notes
 DLCI 3.1 has minimum pre-requisite of Windows Server 2008 SP2 for the site systems and server
running Dell Provisioning Service (DPS).
 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 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.
