Embedded System Management
The Lifecycle Controller is an embedded utility that enables systems
management tasks from an embedded environment throughout the server’s
lifecycle.
The controller can be started during the boot sequence and can function
independently of the operating system.
NOTE: Certain platform configurations may not support the full set of features
provided by the controller.
On systems with Baseboard Management Controller (BMC), the Lifecycle
Controller supports
running diagnostics to validate the memory, I/O devices,
processors, physical disks, and other peripherals
.\
NOTE: The Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) utility is replaced by the
iDRAC6 utility.
