Lifecycle Controller — Supported Dell Systems and Operating Systems
Dell Systems Management Software Support Matrix Version 6.5 A02
The Dell Lifecycle Controller provides advanced embedded systems management and is delivered as part of iDRAC Express card and embedded Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) applications in the 11th generation Dell servers. The Lifecycle Controller software
components are built upon the integrated Dell Remote Access Controller 6 (iDRAC6) Express card and the Unified Extensible Firmware Infrastructure (UEFI) system firmware. The iDRAC6 works with the UEFI firmware to access and manage every aspect of the hardware, including
component and subsystem management that is beyond the traditional BMC (Baseboard Management Controller) capabilities. The UEFI environment provides the local console interface and the infrastructure for locally managed system components. It simplifies the end-to-end
server lifecycle management.
The Dell Lifecycle Controller has the following components:
Unified Server Configurator (USC) — USC supports diagnostics and Operating System Deployment in a one-to-one method.
Unified Server Configurator-Lifecycle Controller Enabled (USC-LCE) — USC enables systems management in a one-to-one method with full functionalities.
Remote Services — Remote Services enables remote systems management in a one-to-many method.
