Dell Lifecycle Controller 2 Release 1.4.0 User's Guide

Post-reboot Scenarios

The following table lists the post-reboot scenarios, its user actions, and impact.

Scenario User Action and Impact

During POST, the system prompts you to press a key to boot into the operating system installation media

Press any key to begin the operating system installation; else, the system boots to the hard disk drive and not the operating system installation media.

Operating system installation is interrupted and the system restars before the installation is completed.

The system prompts you to press a key to boot from the operating system installation media.

Want to cancel operating system installation.

Press <F10>.

  • NOTE: Pressing <F10> at any point during the installation process, or while restarting, causes any drivers provided by the OS Deployment wizard to be removed.

During the 18-hour period when drivers are extracted to a temporary location after the operating system is installed, you cannot update the component firmware by using a DUP. If you attempt a DUP update through the operating system during this time period, the DUP displays a message that another session is active.

Lifecycle Controller does not allow this after the operating system installation. However, if you disconnect the power supply to the managed system, the OEMDRV directory is erased.
