Lifecycle controller also supports local one-to-one system management tasks through a graphical user
interface (GUI) using the server’s KVM or the Virtual Console in iDRAC for operating system installation,
updates, configuration, and for running diagnostics on single and local servers. This eliminates the need
for multiple option ROMs for hardware configuration. For more information, see Lifecycle Controller
User’s Guide, available at delltechcenter.com/lc.
Who can use the API?
Lifecycle Controller-Remote Services features are available based on the type of license (that is, Basic
Management, iDRAC Express, iDRAC Express for Blades, or iDRAC Enterprise) you purchase. Only
licensed features are available in the iDRAC web interface and Lifecycle Controller-Remote Services. For
more information about managing licenses, see iDRAC User’s Guide. For more information about
Lifecycle Controller-Remote Services licensing, see Licensing.
How is one-to-many management achieved?
A management station sends WS-MAN commands over a network and the WS-MAN commands pass
securely through the network from outside the firewall and maintain security.
