Lifecycle controller also supports local one-to-one system management tasks through a graphical user interface (GUI) using
the servers 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 Users Guide, available at www.delltechcenter.com/lc.
Lifecycle Controller-Remote Services features are available based on the type of license (that is, Basic Management, iDRAC
Express, iDRAC Express for Blades, or iDRAC Enterprise) you purchase. Only licensed features are available in the iDRAC web
interface and Lifecycle Controller-Remote Services. For more information about managing licenses, see iDRAC Users Guide. For
more information about Lifecycle Controller-Remote Services licensing, see Licensing.
About one-to-many management achieved
A management station sends WS-MAN and iDRAC RESTful API with Redfish commands over a network and these commands
pass securely through the network from outside the firewall and maintain security.
