Lifecycle Controller — Supported Dell Systems and Operating
Systems
The Dell Lifecycle Controller provides advanced embedded systems management and is delivered as part of integrated Dell Remote
Access Controller (iDRAC) and embedded Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) applications in the 12th and 13th generation
of Dell PowerEdge servers.
The Lifecycle Controller software components are built on iDRAC and UEFI system firmware. Lifecycle Controller firmware can
access and manage the hardware, including component and sub- system management that is beyond the traditional Baseboard
Management Controller (BMC) 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.
Beginning with v2.10.10.10, iDRAC with Lifecycle Controller firmware is supported on both 12th and 13th generation of Dell
PowerEdge servers.
On the 12
th
generation of Dell PowerEdge servers, Lifecycle Controller is known as Lifecycle Controller 2 (includes GUI and Remote
Services). The functionalities available are based on the generation of the server and the variant of Lifecycle Controller:
• Lifecycle Controller GUI 2.40.40.40 — Lifecycle Controller GUI supports systems management tasks such as deploy,
configure, update, maintain, and diagnose in a one-to-one method.
• Lifecycle Controller-Remote Services 2.40.40.40 — Remote Services (WS-MAN) simplifies end-to-end server lifecycle
management using the one-to-many method. It interfaces for remote deployment integrated with Dell OpenManage Essentials
and partner consoles.
For more information, see the Lifecycle Controller documentation available at dell.com/support/manuals.
