These firmware are included on the ISO in order to support various VxFlex Ready
Node platforms. The log messages do not necessarily indicate a failure.
Additional resources
This section contains information regarding additional resources that may be helpful
useful when using the Hardware ISO.
VxFlex OS resources
VxFlex Ready Node deployments have specific guidelines regarding server installation,
rack and stack procedures, and power and networking requirements.
The
VxFlex Ready Node Hardware Installation Guide describes how to install the physical
components of a VxFlex Ready Node system. For additional information regarding the

Dell Lifecycle Controller (LC)
With the launch of the Dell PowerEdge 13th-generation servers in September 2014,
Dell enhanced embedded management without the need to install a software-based
agent within the host operating system. 14th-generation servers continue this
functionality.
At the heart of the 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.
Supported versions are iDRAC8 (13th generation servers) or iDRAC9 (14th generation
servers).
For more information, visit the Lifecycle Controller wiki homepage.
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 mode (13G) or BIOS or Unified Extensible
Firmware Interface (UEFI) mode (14G).
