Dell Lifecycle Controller (LC)
At the heart of the VxFlex Ready Node servers' embedded management is the iDRAC
with Lifecycle Controller (LC) technology.
This technology allows users to perform useful tasks such as configuring BIOS and
hardware settings, deploying operating systems, updating drivers, changing RAID
settings, and saving hardware profiles. Together, they provide a robust set of
management functions that can be leveraged throughout the entire server lifecycle.

Dell OpenManage Deployment Toolkit (DTK)
The Dell OpenManage Deployment Toolkit (DTK) includes a set of utilities, sample
scripts, and sample configuration files that you can use to deploy and configure Dell
systems.
You can use the DTK to build script-based and RPM-based installation for deploying
large number of systems on a pre-operating system environment in a reliable way,
without changing their current deployment processes. Using DTK you can install
operating systems on Dell systems in BIOS or Unified Extensible Firmware Interface
(UEFI) mode.

homepage.
