Disable initial Lifecycle Controller screen via Redfish

Can you share the server model and iDRAC FW version you have on the server? I am not sure which LifeCycle Controller screen you are referring here. Is it F10 option to launch Life Cycle controller or Collect System Inventory which happens towards end of the POST.

this is a PowerEdge R6525, iDRAC 4.40.10.00. i get shown this menu automatically when the server boots up. anyway to disable it via API?

Hello ffdfdfdfdfdfd,

Have you already installed OS? Is it initial server deployment?

Thank you

yes, it's an initial deployment. using the redfish api.

i already have the virtual iso attached and it's supposed to boot into the iso.

Hello ffdfdfdfdfdfd,

I am not familiar with Redfish scripting, but the only time I've seen the server boot to the LCC screen constantly is because the LCC had a job scheduled, like a firmware update or something else, that did not complete successfully.

First step to stop the LCC screen coming up on boot:

-boot to F2 -> System Setup -> iDRAC Settings -> Lifecycle Controller to check status

-Choose: Lifecycle Controller set to Enabled

-Collect System Inventory on Restart set to Enabled.

-Cancel Lifecycle Controller Actions set to Yes.

Then I'd recommend try a local install either with the LifeCycle OS Deploy or  if the OS has native drivers for the server components boot to OS install media pressing F11 on boot to select the boot option.
