Users Guide

The boot image creation process begins. A progress bar shows the status of the boot image creation. After the boot image is
created, the boot image details are displayed on the Summary screen, the information includes DTK or CAB file details, and
success state.
9. Right-click each of the newly created boot images and perform the update and manage distribution points operations.
The drivers imported from Dell driver CAB files are injected into WinPE. This process depends on the Configuration Manager
and ADK. It is recommended that you read the limitations documented for these products before creating a boot image. For
example, technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh825070.aspx
NOTE: You can view the DTK configuration details only by using the Import DLCI Dell Driver Cabs.
Configuring target systems
DLCI for Configuration Manager supports only yx1x systems and later. For each system in the collection, enable Collect System
Inventory on Restart (CSIOR) in the iDRAC settings.
NOTE: In the server name format yx1x; y denotes alphabets, for example M, R, or T; and x denotes numbers.
By default, CSIOR is OFF. The part replacement feature provides the option to set the CSIOR.
To enable CSIOR on multiple systems, see Configuring part replacement properties for a system.
To enable CSIOR for earlier server generations:
1. Restart the system.
2. During Power-on Self-Test (POST), when the system prompts you to enter the iDRAC Utility, press <CTRL>< E>.
3. Select System Services from the options available and press <Enter>.
4. Select Collect System Inventory on Restart and press the right or down keys and set it to Enabled.
To enable CSIOR for Dell’s 12th and later generation of PowerEdge servers:
1. Select <F2> during POST to enter System Setup.
2. Select iDRAC Settings and click Lifecycle Controller.
3. Select Collect system inventory on Restart (CISOR).
Auto-discovery and handshake
The auto-discovery and handshake feature enables the iDRAC on target systems to locate the provisioning service and establish
communication with the Site Server. The Dell Provisioning service provisions a management account and updates Configuration
Manager with the new system. The Dell Lifecycle Controller Utility (DLCU) for Configuration Manager uses the provisioned account
to communicate with the iDRAC of target systems, to invoke the enabled features.
After DLCI for Configuration Manager discovers a system with iDRAC, it creates the All Dell Lifecycle Controller Servers
collection under Devices Collections in Configuration Manager Version 1610, Configuration Manager 2012 SP2, Configuration
Manager 2012 R2 SP1, Configuration Manager 2012 R2, Configuration Manager 2012 SP1, or Configuration Manager 2012. There are
two sub-collections within the collection:
• Managed Dell Lifecycle Controller (OS Deployed) — displays the systems on which you have deployed the operating system.
• Managed Dell Lifecycle Controller (OS Unknown) — displays the systems on which the operating system is not deployed.
NOTE:
– DLCI for Configuration Manager does not support auto-discovery of modular systems with flex-addressing.
– Duplicate collections may get created when Auto-Discovery and Import Dell Server operations are done
simultaneously. Dell recommends that you delete duplicate DLCI Collections.
