Issue 18

Issue: If you have discovered systems with Dell Lifecycle Controller Integration for Configuration

Manager version 1.0 or 1.1 and updated the firmware after upgrading to version 1.2 or 1.3, then you must

re-discover the systems if you change their hostname during OS deployment.

Resolution: Ensure that you upgrade Lifecycle Controller of the target systems to version 1.4 or later and

upgrade iDRAC on the target systems to version 1.5 or later for monolithic systems and version 3.02 or

later for modular systems.

Issue 19

Issue: When you are importing the backup image for a system or a collection, and you specify an invalid

backup file passphrase, the following error is displayed on the Task Viewer:

Backup File passphrase is invalid. Host system has shut down due to invalid

passphrase. Specify a valid passphrase and rerun the task.

Resolution: To resolve this issue, restart the workflow to import the backup image and re-submit the task

to the Task Viewer. For more information, see Importing the System Profile.

Issue 20

Issue: When the Backup or Restore operations are in progress for a collection, you cannot view the

Lifecycle Controller Logs for the collection. The cause for this is that the Lifecycle Controller is busy

running the Backup or Restore tasks that are running.

Resolution: To view the Lifecycle Controller Logs, click Refresh on the Lifecycle Controller Logs screen

after the Backup or Restore tasks are complete.

Issue 22

Issue: When you continuously add Lifecycle Controller Logs, or one or more of the components

continuously create log entries, you may not view the Lifecycle Controller Logs for the collection.

Resolution: To view the Lifecycle Controller Logs, click Refresh on the Lifecycle Controller Logs screen

after waiting for a short period.

Issue 22

Issue: Creation of unattended operating system media takes a long time in a non-windows operating

system deployment.

Resolution: During non-windows operating system deployment, Dell Lifecycle Controller Utility creates

the unattended operating system media using the NFS share. If NFS share responds slow, this step takes

more time. Use NFSv3 preferably on a server running Red Hat Linux operating system.
