• Rollback• Update• Delete JobsOnly one type of operation can be performed at a time. Components and devices that are not supported may be listed as part of theinventory, but do not permit Lifecycle Controller operations.To perform the Lifecycle Controller operations, you must have:• For CMC: Server Administrator privilege.• For iDRAC: Configure iDRAC privilege and Log in to iDRAC privilege.A Lifecycle Controller operation scheduled on a server may take 10 to 15 minutes to complete. The process involves several serverreboots during which the firmware installation is performed, which also includes a firmware verification stage. You can view theprogress of this process using the server console. If there are several components or devices that need to be updated on a server,you can consolidate all the updates into one scheduled operation thus minimizing the number of reboots required.Sometimes, when an operation is in the process of being submitted for scheduling through another session or context, anotheroperation is attempted. In this case, a confirmation message is displayed indicating the situation and the operation must not besubmitted. Wait for the operation in process to complete and then submit the operation again.Do not navigate away from the page after an operation is submitted for scheduling. If an attempt is made, a confirmation message isdisplayed allowing the intended navigation to be cancelled. Otherwise, the operation is interrupted. An interruption, especially duringan update operation may cause the firmware image file upload to be terminated before proper completion. After an operation hasbeen submitted for scheduling, ensure that the confirmation message indicating that the operation has been successfully scheduledis acknowledged.Reinstalling Server Component FirmwareYou can reinstall the firmware image of the currently installed firmware for selected components or devices across one or moreservers. The firmware image is available within the Lifecycle Controller.Re-installing Server Component Firmware Using Web InterfaceTo reinstall a server component firmware:1. In the left pane, click Server Overview → Update.2. On the Server Component Update page, in the Choose Update Type section, select Update from File.3. In the Current Version column, select the option for the component or device for which you want to reinstall the firmware.4. Select one of the following options:• Reboot Now — Restart the server immediately.• On Next Reboot — Manually restart the server at a later time.5. Click Reinstall. The firmware version is reinstalled for the selected component or device.Rolling Back Server Component FirmwareYou can install the firmware image of the previously installed firmware for selected components or devices across one or moreservers. The firmware image is available within the Lifecycle Controller for a rollback operation. The availability is subject to theversion compatibility logic of the Lifecycle Controller. It also assumes the previous update was facilitated by the Lifecycle Controller.NOTE: To use this feature, you must have an Enterprise License.Rolling Back Server Component Firmware Using the CMC Web InterfaceTo roll back the server component firmware version to an earlier version:1. In the left pane, click Server Overview→ Update.2. On the Server Component Update page, in the Choose Update Type section, select Update from File.57
