Release Notes

Important notes
1. Running an OS DUP firmware update for a communication device may not display the rollback information correctly in iDRAC.
2. The following message is displayed when the firmware is updated using remote racadm—"Error: Session is not valid." When this
message is displayed, you can use remote RACADM with CIFS/NFS share for the firmware update.
3. For Dell online catalog update, downloads.dell.com only supports https protocol.
4. While downloading firmware update packages using catalog, the download progress information page may display a higher number of
packages than the total number. This may occur if you select multiple versions of firmware for a single device.
5. The following message is displayed when the firmware is updated using iDRAC UI for backplane including PCIe drives—"Unable to
update the 12G SEP firmware to version 1.00 because the operation is not supported or the device is in a locked state." When this
message is displayed, you can update the firmware from the Host OS and it will complete successfully.
6. PCIe Gen4 drives may not get detected in iDRAC for Dell EMC PowerEdge R930 system. Use the F2 (Systems Setup) option to
access the device settings that hosts the native configuration utility for the installed devices.
7. Network operations over IPv6 are supported only with IPv6 address, using hostname is not supported. For example, if IPv6 address of
lcui-fwupdate.com is 2607:f2b1:f083:181::15, then using lcui-fwupdate.com causes a failure in network operation. Use the IPv6 address
2607:f2b1:f083:181::15 to avoid this failure.
8. When the plug-in type is changed to HTML5, Java or Native multiple times on a system with MacOS and Safari web browser, the
keyboard/mouse attach state changes to Detach state automatically. You can update the OS and the browser to the latest version
for the attach state to change to default.
9. Standalone Virtual Console and Virtual Media window titles are displayed in english language only, when accessed using java plug-in.
10. When firmimg.d7 update from HTTPS share using firmware RACADM update is performed, it displays an additional error message
RAC989 intermittently, along with the completion message RAC987. During this update, the proxy is enabled. When this error is
displayed, a corresponding job state shall be monitored using any of the iDRAC interfaces (RACADM/GUI/WSMAN) to check the
update status.
11. When firmimg.d7 update using local RACADM interface is performed, it exits without displaying any status message. When this
happens, a corresponding job state shall be monitored using any of the iDRAC interfaces (RACADM/GUI/WSMAN) to check the
update status.
12. Firmware update from version 2.63.60.62 to version 2.65.65.65 from remote network share using remote RACADM interface may
throw an error message - "Error: Session is Invalid". When this error is displayed, a corresponding job state shall be monitored using
any of the iDRAC interfaces (RACADM/GUI/WSMAN) to check the update status. With version 2.65.65.65, RAC987 EEMI is
displayed instead of "Error: Session is Invalid".
13. The drivers that are exposed by LC are present in a read-only drive that is labeled OEMDRV and the drive is active for 18 hours. During
this period:
• You cannot install any DUPs.
• LC cannot invoke CSIOR.
However, if an AC power cycle (cold boot) is performed, the OEMDRV drive is automatically deleted.
14. CPLD firmware update has no impact on Trusted Platform Module enablement.
15. Depending on the virtual storage device attached through iDRAC, that is, USB drive or CD/DVD .ISO file, LC displays Virtual Floppy
or Virtual CD respectively.
16. If Test Network Connection fails for a valid address, try configuring the network settings again. If the issue persists, restart the system
and retry the operation.
17. When you reset or update the iDRAC, you must reboot LC if it is launched already. If you fail to reboot, LC may behave unexpectedly.
18. On PowerEdge FC630, PowerEdge FC830, and PowerEdge FC430 systems, part replacement is not supported if a single PERC
(FS332) is replaced with a dual PERC (FD332) or the opposite way.
19. After performing a firmware update or rollback operations from LC, the host is rebooted by default. Reboot the host server again to
display the updated firmware versions in the View Current Versions wizard.
20. When you update a 12th generation PowerEdge server backplane-expander firmware for PowerEdge R920 firmware to version 0.33 or
2.03, the comparison page displays only one expander entry. However, firmware for both the expanders is updated.
21. Fibre channel NIC cards with two or four ports are displayed as a single port card in Lifecycle Controller. However, all ports are
updated when a firmware update is performed.
22. The option to enable or disable the disk cache policy for SWRAID controllers is supported only on SWRAID controller driver version
4.1.0-0025 or later.
23. ResetKeys under Action in the SecureBoot resource is available only on systems with supported BIOS.
