CollectSystemInventoryOnRestart – This is the inventory collection process that was cover in the CSIOR
section above. It’s recommended to keep this feature Enabled so that the inventory data stored on the
iDRAC is up to date.
PartConfigurationUpdate – The Part Replacement feature can automatically restore the last known
configuration of a device if it’s replaced with a similar device. The available options for this setting are:
 Disabled
 ApplyAlways
 ApplyonlyifFirmwareMatch.
PartFirmwareUpdate – The Part Replacement feature can automatically update to the last installed firmware if
a device is replaced with a similar device. The available options for this setting are:
 Disable
 Allowversionupgradeonly
 Matchfirmwareofreplacedpart

BIOSRTDRequested – This BIOS Reset to Defaults attribute will trigger a full reset to default settings for the
BIOS. Any attributes configured in the BIOS.Setup.1-1 component will be applied after the reset to defaults
has occurred. This is the only LifecycleController attribute that will require a host reboot to apply. This value
does not persist and will reset to False after the host has been rebooted.
AutoUpdate – The AutoUpdate feature can be enabled or disabled under the LifecycleController component.
The associated scheduling attributes are located at the end of the iDRAC component. This feature is detailed
in the AutoUpdate section of this document.
