Lifecycle Controller shows only ‘Deploy OS’ – how to perform consolidated firmware updates?
Hi everyone,
On newer Dell PowerEdge servers, Lifecycle Controller (F10) now only shows Deploy OS, and firmware update options are no longer available.
Previously, we used SUU to perform a single, consolidated firmware update (iDRAC, BIOS, RAID, NIC, etc.) in one run.
For those managing offline environments (no Internet access), is there currently any supported way to perform a one-time aggregated firmware update, or has Dell fully moved to iDRAC + individual firmware updates / DRM workflow only?
Appreciate any best practices or real-world experience. Thanks!

Hello
you can use Dell Repository Manager to create a Smart Bootable ISO with all firmware and apply it in one run

So there will not be any options to update/TSR logg in Lifecycle in the future?
Asked support for this but they did not know.
