Lifecycle Controller Job Operations

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 popup message is displayed indicating the situation and the
operation must not be submitted. Wait for the operation in process to complete and then submit the operation again.
Do not navigate away from the page after an operation is submitted for scheduling. If an attempt is made, a confirmation
popup message is displayed allowing the intended navigation to be cancelled. Otherwise, the operation is interrupted.
An interruption, especially during an Update operation may cause the firmware image file upload to be terminated
before proper completion. After an operation has been submitted for scheduling, ensure that the confirmation popup
message indicating that the operation has been successfully scheduled is acknowledged.
