NOTE: On Dell’s 13th generation PowerEdge server, you can now perform all RAID configuration jobs in real-time without rebooting the host.

For more information on RAID configuration, see the SimpleRaid profile document available at en.community.dell.com/techcenter/systems-management/w/wiki/1906.dcim-library-profile.aspx. Also, see the iDRAC User’s Guide available at dell.com/esmmanuals.

NIC configuration

Network Interface Controller (NIC) configuration feature is used to set up or modify configuration settings for supported NIC cards (for example, Intel, QLogic, and Broadcom). These configuration settings can be set or updated both locally and remotely using Lifecycle Controller-Remote Services.

The NICs supported by Lifecycle Controller provide an array of networking features converged into a single controller:

•Traditional NIC capabilities

•Internet Small Computer System Interface over Ethernet (iSCSI) capabilities

•Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) capabilities

You can configure various device capabilities such as:

•Personalities (FCoE, ISOE, Layer 2 NIC)

•NIC partition bandwidth allocation

•Boot versus Offload

•I/O Identity

Operating system deployment

The operating system deployment feature is used to remotely deploy and manage an operating system using WSMAN web services protocols that use CIFS and NFS network file sharing protocols. Remote activation of locally exposed embedded drivers such as a USB drive eliminates the need for physical media.

NOTE: By default the drivers are available with iDRAC and Lifecycle Controller for all the Dell supported operating systems.

You can perform the following operations:

•Get installed driver pack version and list of supported operating systems.

•Remote activation of locally exposed embedded drivers for the selected operating system as an emulated USB device to the server that is automatically installed during installation.

•Remote acquisition of embedded drivers for the selected operating system to a CIFS or NFS network share that can be used later for operating system deployment.

•Boot to an ISO image on a CIFS or NFS network share to initiate an operating system installation.

•Download ISO to vFlash SD card and boot from the card to initiate an operating system installation.

•Connect an ISO from CIFS or NFS network share, attaching it as virtual USB CD-ROM device to the server, and booting the server to the ISO, every time the server restarts.

•One time boot to PXE.

•One time boot to hard disk.

•Get the list of MAC addresses of all the NICs present on the server.
