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: Configure 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 firmware installation is performed, which also includes a firmware verification 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 confirmation message is displayed
