Hello The lifecycle controller is attempting to install or verify something. Go to the iDRAC web GUI and check the job status. If there are any jobs in the queue then cancel them. If there are no jobs then update the iDRAC and LifeCycle Controller through the "Update and Rollback" page in the DRAC embedded web server. Thanks
Hi, I am setting up a brand new Dell PE R720 via iDrac7 (remotely). Over $8000 worth of server! I've tried several options at boot to install Server 2012 but the server always states: Entering Lifecycle Controller, even though I choose to boot from a virtual ISO.  After Initializing firmware Interfaces and applying updates it gives a white screen stating: Automated Task Application then the server shuts down. Pressing F10 or F11 at boot does not do anything. No matter what option I choose or what I set in the BIOS it always gives that white screen and then shuts down within a couple of seconds.
R720 Cannot install OS - Automated Task Application - shuts down
