So you would not want to set the IP of a iDRAC during this process, just the configurable settings. The profile was designed to be used as a method of configuring many servers based off one “reference” server configuration. The only caveat was if you wanted to change the IP address of the iDRAC during an import of the XML profile. It has been quite easy to import XML profiles that configure the iDRAC, BIOS, NIC and RAID cards on Dell 12th generation servers since December of 2012. That’s it, you now have a fixed or updated Lifecycle Controller.

Simple download the latest LC Repar file (iDRAC7 – or iDRAC6 – as of 8/2/13) and utilize it in the iDRAC GUI as if it is an iDRAC firmware upgrade. This is most helpful when the Lifecycle Controller needs a repair or has a firmware older than May of 2012.

Current 12th generation servers can flash any hardware via the iDRAC GUI (but that is a topic for another post) but ANY 11th or 12th generation server can update it’s Lifecycle Controller via the iDRAC. It needs to recalibrate it’s power and thermal parameters after a wipe.Īnother troubleshoot tidbit, you can flash the Lifecycle Controller via the iDRAC GUI interface.

Depending on the version of firmware you have on the server, this might wipe out your iDRAC License key so export it first or be prepared to request a new key thru your support portal or via phone. When they calm down, the LCD should show back up and the iDRAC will be back to a default state with an IP address of 192.168.0.120. After about 5 minutes you will hear all of the fans spin up to max RPM and stay there for a bit. The LCD on the front panel will go dark and the iDRAC will no longer be accessible. It takes about 5 to 10 minutes to complete. If successful, you will get a ReturnValue of 0. Winrm i LCWipe -u: -p: -r: -SkipCNcheck -SkipCAcheck -encoding:utf-8 -a:basic
