The Lifecycle Controller is an embedded utility that enables systems and
storage management tasks from an embedded environment throughout the
server’s lifecycle.
The Lifecycle Controller can be started during the boot sequence and can
function independently of the operating system.
NOTE:
Certain platform configurations may not support the full set of features
provided by Lifecycle Controller.
For more information about setting up the Lifecycle Controller, configuring
hardware and firmware, and deploying the operating system, see the Lifecycle
Controller documentation at support.dell.com/manuals .
