Why use Lifecycle Controller Remote Services?
When Dell examined the most common management tasks and the inefficiencies associated with them, it
discovered that the additional time taken for performing management tasks was not because of the tools,
but it was because of how the functions were split between several tools. For example, the most
common tasks such as provisioning, deploying, and updating required not only multiple tools and
multiple media format, but also searching the Web for tools such as drivers and firmware. This traditional
delivery model resulted in inefficient use of time, potential errors, and possible security risks. Lifecycle
Controller-Remote Services addresses all these system management issues.
Licensable features in Lifecycle Controller
The Web Services-Management (WS-MAN) License and Privilege Specification encompasses all the
license and privilege information required to utilize the WSMAN API provided by the integrated Dell
Remote Access Controller (iDRAC) with Lifecycle Controller.
