Live Scanning
BIOS live scanning verifies the integrity and authenticity of the BIOS image in the BIOS primary ROM when the host is powered ON but not in POST.
NOTE:
- This feature requires iDRAC Datacenter license.
- A user must have Debug privilege for operating this feature.
iDRAC performs verification of immutable sections of BIOS image automatically at the following scenarios:
- At AC power cycle/Cold boot
- On a schedule determined by user
- On demand (initiated by user)
Successful result of live scanning is logged to Lifecycle Controller Log (LCL). Failure result is logged to both LCL and system event logs (SEL).
