Release Notes

7. LC does not support SOCK4 proxy with credentials.
8. LC UI supports share names and file paths that are up to 256 characters long. However, the protocol you use may only allow shorter
values for these fields.
9. Because of internal UEFI network stack protocol implementation, there may be a delay while opening the LC UI Network Settings
page or while applying the network setting.
10. Before performing any network operations, verify that the network is configured with the network cable connected. In some
scenarios, a warning message may not be displayed but the operation may fail. Following are some examples that may lead to failure:
• Static IP is configured without the network cable being connected.
• Network cable is disconnected.
• After a Repurpose and Retire operation is performed.
• Network is configured with the network cable connected but the network card is replaced later.
11. Any changes to the network settings in iDRAC take effect after 30 seconds. Any automation or user verification needs to wait for 30
seconds before verifying the new settings. iDRAC returns the old active value until the new values take effect. Any DHCP settings
may take more time (>30 seconds) depending on the network environment.
12. When trying to save network details using the Network Configuration page of LC UI, the following error message may be displayed:
Unable to save the IPvX network settings, where X is the version of IP (IPv4 or IPv6). The following could be one
reason for this error:
On the Network Settings page of Lifecycle Controller GUI, the IP Address Source for both IPv4 and IPv6 is either DHCP or Static and
DHCP is selected by default. So, even if you want to use only one version of IP address, LC tries to validate both versions, and displays
an error if the network details for the unintended version cannot be validated.
If the error does not apply to the IP version you are using, click OK to close the error message. All the other settings that you
configured are saved. You can either click Cancel or Back to navigate away from the Network Settings page.
13. If the Gateway IP is not configured in a network, the network settings and operations in LC UI may show some unexpected behavior.
OS deployment
1. Windows operating system deployment may intermittently fail with the following error message:
A required CD/DVD drive device driver is missing. If you have a driver floppy disk, CD,
DVD, or USB drive, please insert it now.
Reboot to LC and retry until the operating system is successfully deployed.
2. Deployment of Windows Server operating systems (OS) using LC may fail with one of the following messages:
• Windows installation cannot continue because a required driver could not be installed
• Product key required
• Windows cannot find the software license terms
This issue occurs 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.
3. LC may display multiple drive names for some CDs or DVDs, such as the ones containing operating systems.
4. If the operating system (OS) selected for installation and the OS on the media used are different, LC displays a warning message.
However, while installing Windows OS, the warning message is displayed only when the bit count (x86 or x64) of the OS does not
match. For example, if Windows Server 2008 x64 is selected for installation and Windows Server 2008 x86 media is used, the warning
is displayed.
5. In Windows10, HTML5 plug-in does not support Virtual media connection on the following versions of Edge browsers:
a. Microsoft Edge 44.17763.1.0
b. Microsoft EdgeHTML 18.17763
Security
1. Cryptographic Erase operation is not supported for hot-plugged NVMe disks. Reboot the server before starting the operation. If the
operation continues to fail, ensure that CSIOR is enabled and that the NVMe disk is qualified by Dell EMC.
