Release Notes

Limitations
• If Flex Address is enabled on Chassis Management Controllers (CMC), iDRAC and LC do not display the same MAC addresses. To view
the chassis-assigned MAC address, use the iDRAC web interface or the CMC web interface. Go to General > Network Settings.
• Lifecycle Controller may go into an innite loop when a network operation is tried with an incorrect NFS share name. Restart Lifecycle
Controller and retry the operation with the correct NFS share name details.
• If NPAR is enabled, LC might show unexpected behavior when conguring network settings. Disable NPAR option and execute the
network setting congurations. To disable the NPAR option, go to System Setup > Device Setting.
• The process of retrieving IPv6 address from the DHCP server with VLAN connection takes a few minutes. Wait for a few minutes and
check the Network Settings page to view the assigned IPv6 address.
• Deployment of Windows Server operating systems using LC may fail with one of the following message:
– Windows installation cannot continue because a required driver could not be installed.
– Product key required.
– Windows cannot nd the software license terms.
This happens when the Windows setup copies the driver to the scratch space (X: drive) and the scratch space becomes full. To resolve
this issue, do any of the following:
– Remove all the installed add-on devices before starting the OS installation. After the OS installation is complete, connect the add-
on devices and manually install the remaining drivers using Dell Update Packages (DUPs).
– To avoid physically removing the hardware, disable the PCle slots in the BIOS.
– Increase scratch space size beyond 32 MB using DISM set-scratchspace command when creating customized deployment.
For more details, see Microsoft's documentation.
• LC supports the following characters for username and password:
Alphabets
a-z, A-Z
Numbers 0-9
Special characters - , _ , .
• If LC is open or running while you are updating iDRAC rmware using a tool other than LC, you may notice unexpected behavior. Use
Lifecycle Controller after the rmware is successfully updated.
• If the iDRAC rmware update is interrupted, you may have to wait up to 30 minutes before attempting another rmware update.
• From LC UI, only Windows systems can be deployed by using software RAID controller.
• Firmware update is supported only for LAN on Motherboards (LoM), Network Daughter Cards (NDC), and network adapters from
Broadcom, QLogic, and Intel, and some of the QLogic and Emulex ber channel cards. For the list of supported ber channel cards, see
the LC 2.60.60.60 User’s Guide available at dell.com/idracmanuals.
• After the CPLD rmware is updated on modular systems, the rmware update date is displayed as 2000-01-01 on the View Current
Versions page. The update date and time is displayed according to the time zone congured on the server.
• On some modular systems, after a rmware update, the Lifecycle Log displays the time-stamp as 1999-12-31 instead of the date on
which the rmware update was performed
• While viewing the current hardware inventory, some properties related to devices installed in PowerEdge VRTX system are not
displayed.
• LC can import and view an iDRAC license but cannot export or delete the iDRAC license. The iDRAC license can be deleted from iDRAC
GUI.
• The iSCSI ooad attribute can be enabled only on two of the four available ports. If a card, which has this attribute enabled on two of
its ports, is replaced with another card that has the attribute enabled on the other two ports, an error occurs. The rmware does not
allow the attribute to be set because it is already set on the other two ports.
• Windows operating systems support both the manual and unattended installation features. However, Lifecycle Controller supports the
unattended installation feature for Windows and RHEL-7 operating systems only.
