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.

The following features of the Lifecycle Controller are supported on systems

with Baseboard Management Controller (BMC):

• Installing an operating system
• Running diagnostics to validate the memory, I/O devices, processors,

physical disks, and other peripherals

When an optional iDRAC6 Express card is installed, the controller provides

the following additional features:

• Downloading and applying firmware updates
• Configuring hardware and firmware

For more information about setting up the controller, configuring hardware

and firmware, and deploying the operating system, see the
