Concept Guide

Lifecycle controller also supports local one-to-one system management tasks through a graphical user

interface (GUI) using the server’s KVM or the Virtual Console in iDRAC for operating system installation,

updates, configuration, and for running diagnostics on single and local servers. This eliminates the need

for multiple option ROMs for hardware configuration. For more information, see Lifecycle Controller

User’s Guide, available at delltechcenter.com/lc.

Who can use the API?

Lifecycle Controller-Remote Services features are available based on the type of license (that is, Basic

licensed features are available in the iDRAC web interface and Lifecycle Controller-Remote Services. For

more information about managing licenses, see iDRAC User’s Guide. For more information about

Lifecycle Controller-Remote Services licensing, see Licensing.
