iDRAC8 with Lifecycle Controller Version 2.70.70.70 Release Notes

Important notes

1. When FCP is enabled, 'Default Password Warning' setting is disabled after changing the default user password.
2. Keyboard interactive authentication has been enabled on the iDRAC SSH Server to provide enhanced security. SSH clients now require both password authentication and keyboard interactive authentication before allowing a user to log in to iDRAC. If you see a message - "Further authentication required.", you have to include keyboard interactive authentication in your login attempt.
3. After updating the iDRAC firmware to version 2.70.70.70 or later, LC logs may display a message—"Version change detected for PCIe SSD firmware. Previous version: X.X.X, Current version: X.X.X.". Ignore this log entry.
4. Failover LOM is not supported with Intel 10 GbE 4P X710-k bNDC on a modular server.
5. The drivers that are exposed by LC are present in a read-only drive that is labeled OEMDRV and the drive is active for 18 hours. During this period:
   • You cannot install any DUPs.
   • LC cannot invoke CSIOR.

   However, if an AC power cycle (cold boot) is performed, the OEMDRV drive is automatically deleted.

6. CPLD firmware update has no impact on Trusted Platform Module enablement.
7. Depending on the virtual storage device attached through iDRAC, that is, USB drive or CD/DVD .ISO file, LC displays Virtual Floppy or Virtual CD respectively.
8. If Test Network Connection fails for a valid address, try configuring the network settings again. If the issue persists, restart the system and retry the operation.
9. When you reset or update the iDRAC, you must reboot LC if it is launched already. If you fail to reboot, LC may behave unexpectedly.
10. On PowerEdge FC630, PowerEdge FC830, and PowerEdge FC430 systems, part replacement is not supported if a single PERC (FS332) is replaced with a dual PERC (FD332) or vice versa.
11. After performing a firmware update or rollback operations from LC, the host is rebooted by default. Reboot the host server again to display the updated firmware versions in the View Current Versions wizard.
12. To record updates in the Lifecycle log, ensure that the Lifecycle Controller and iDRAC are from the same release.
13. If Lifecycle Controller and iDRAC are not from the same release, the Lifecycle Log displays either blank messages or messages with a '~' character.
14. When you update a 12th generation PowerEdge server backplane-expander firmware for PowerEdge R920 firmware to version 0.33 or 2.03, the comparison page displays only one expander entry. However, firmware for both the expanders is updated.
15. Fibre channel NIC cards with two or four ports are displayed as a single port card in Lifecycle Controller. However, all ports are updated when a firmware update is performed.
16. The option to enable or disable the disk cache policy for SWRAID controllers is supported only on SWRAID controller driver version 4.1.0-0025 or later.
17. ResetKeys under Action in the SecureBoot resource is available only on systems with supported BIOS.
18. The SecureBoot navigation link is available under Computer System only if the SecureBoot feature is supported by the BIOS installed on the system.
19. Rollback is not supported for CPLD.
20. If SMBv2 share fails in Lifecycle GUI, ensure that:
    • The Digitally sign communications option is disabled
    • Permissions to access the folder/file are granted
    • Folder/file name does not have a space
    • Share contains fewer files and folders
21. The certificate warning message that is displayed during an HTTPS transaction is due to the server presenting a certificate issued by an entity that is not trusted by the system, or certificate that is presented by the server is expired.
22. Firmware update from downloads.dell.com using LCUI with HTTP and HTTPS proxy is not supported.
