iDRAC Lifecycle Controller

Lifecycle Controller in Recovery Mode

Because disk space is not enough on pve1, I’m planning to use 4 unused HDDs in the chassis using iDRAC’s build RAID on-the-fly feature. However, it told me the job cannot be done due to lifecycle controller issue. The lifecycle controller is in recovery mode, not enabled. So I had to reboot the server.

How to Solve This

racadm>>get LifecycleController.LCAttributes.LifecycleControllerState

racadm get LifecycleController.LCAttributes.LifecycleControllerState
Recovery

racadm>>set LifecycleController.LCAttributes.LifecycleControllerState 0

racadm set LifecycleController.LCAttributes.LifecycleControllerState 0
Object value modified successfully

racadm>>get LifecycleController.LCAttributes.LifecycleControllerState

racadm get LifecycleController.LCAttributes.LifecycleControllerState
Disabled

racadm>>set LifecycleController.LCAttributes.LifecycleControllerState 1

racadm set LifecycleController.LCAttributes.LifecycleControllerState 1
Object value modified successfully

racadm>>get LifecycleController.LCAttributes.LifecycleControllerState

racadm get LifecycleController.LCAttributes.LifecycleControllerState
Enabled
