Dell recommends using the Embedded Management, Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller 8 (iDRAC8) with Lifecycle
Controller instead of Dell Systems Build and Update Utility (SBUU). SBUU is replaced with Lifecycle Controller on Dells 13
th
generation of PowerEdge servers.
iDRAC with Lifecycle Controller is an Embedded Systems Management application for operating system deployment and
lifecycle management of PowerEdge servers. You can access Dell Lifecycle Controller by pressing <F10> during system boot
up or through remote interface tools such as, iDRAC Web GUI, RACADM command-line interface, or Web Service Management
(WS-Man) interface.
The local GUI of iDRAC8 with Lifecycle Controller allows you to do the following in a pre-OS environment:
Hardware configuration
Operating system and hypervisor deployments
Hardware updates
Hardware diagnostics
Lifecycle Controller is embedded on all Dells 11
th
generation and later PowerEdge servers. No tools or downloads are required
to use the capabilities of Lifecycle Controller. For more information, see the following documents available at dell.com/
