Release Notes

• Some properties related to devices installed in PowerEdge VRTX system are not displayed while
viewing the current hardware inventory.
• Lifecycle Controller can import and view an iDRAC license, but it cannot export or delete the
iDRAC license.
• The iSCSI offload feature can be enabled only on two of the available four ports. If the iSCSI
offload attribute is enabled on a card, and is replaced by another card whose iSCSI offload mode
is also enabled on the other two ports, an error is thrown. The firmware will not allow the
attribute to be set, because it is already set on the other two ports.
• The unattended OS (operating system) installation feature is not supported for the Microsoft
Windows Server 2012 R2.
• Windows OS supports both the manual installation and unattended installation features.
However, Lifecycle Controller supports the unattended installation feature for Windows and
RHEL-7 operating systems only.
• In Lifecycle Controller, all the vendor FC cards are not supported for VLAN configuration.
• Lifecycle Controller displays two drive names for some CDs or DVDs such as the one containing
operating systems.
• Network operations such as Update, Export, or Import may take more time than expected. The
delay may occur because the source or destination share is not reachable or does not exist, or
due to other network issues.
• Lifecycle Controller displays a warning message if the operating system selected for installation
and the operating system on the media used are different. However, while installing Windows
operating systems, the warning message appears only when the bit count (x86 or x64) of the
operating system does not match. For example, when Windows Server 2008 x64 is selected for
installation and Windows Server 2003 x64 media is inserted,
• Lifecycle Controller proceeds with the installation without displaying a warning message.
• Lifecycle Controller does not support operating system deployment on Dell Precision R7910.
• When NPAR is enabled, the port numbers displayed on the Lifecycle Controller Network
Settings page ( Settings -> Network Settings ) do not match with the port numbers displayed on
the Device Settings page ( System Setup -> Advanced Hardware Configuration -> Device
Settings
).
• The word encrypted is incorrectly translated as scripted in the Step 3 OS deployment Spanish
help page.

version 4.8 only, the drivers are not automatically installed and you have to install the drivers
manually after the OS installation has been completed.
