Lifecycle Controller Job Operations
NOTE
: To use this feature, you must have an Enterprise License.
You can perform Lifecycle Controller operations such as:
• Re-install
• Rollback
• Update
• Delete Jobs
Only one type of operation can be performed at a time. Components and devices that are not supported may be listed as part of the
inventory, but do not permit Lifecycle Controller operations.
To perform the Lifecycle Controller operations, you must have:
• For CMC: Server Administrator privilege.
• For iDRAC: Congure iDRAC privilege and Log in to iDRAC privilege.
A Lifecycle Controller operation scheduled on a server may take 10 to 15 minutes to complete. The process involves several server reboots
during which the rmware installation is performed, which also includes a rmware verication stage. You can view the progress of this
process using the server console. If there are several components or devices that need to be updated on a server, you can consolidate all
the updates into one scheduled operation thus minimizing the number of reboots required.
Sometimes, when an operation is in the process of being submitted for scheduling through another session or context, another operation is
attempted. In this case, a conrmation message is displayed indicating the situation and the operation must not be submitted. Wait for the
operation in process to complete and then submit the operation again.
Do not navigate away from the page after an operation is submitted for scheduling. If an attempt is made, a conrmation message is
displayed allowing the intended navigation to be cancelled. Otherwise, the operation is interrupted. An interruption, especially during an
update operation may cause the rmware image le upload to be terminated before proper completion. After an operation has been
submitted for scheduling, ensure that the conrmation message indicating that the operation has been successfully scheduled is
acknowledged.
