Lifecycle Controller—Supported Dell EMC
Systems and Operating Systems
The Dell EMC 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 yx4x generation of 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.
On the yx4xgeneration of PowerEdge servers, Lifecycle Controller is known as Lifecycle Controller 3 (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 4.00.00.00 —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 4.00.00.00 —Remote Services (WSMan) simplifies end-to-end server lifecycle
management using the one-to-many method. It interfaces for remote deployment that is integrated with OpenManage Essentials and
partner consoles.
For more information, see the Lifecycle Controller documentation available at www.dell.com/Support/Home.
