Support image provisioning, bios, and raid management through Dell Lifecycle Controller
Description
Dell provides a way to set bios values, configure RAID, and provision through the LCC.
All hardware fact information can be gathered through LLC allowing the ability to control the server before install. This also allows control across environments which do not allow for PXE boot or an interface cannot be made available for administration.

I am not a developer nor sure how to start the plugin for this at all but would be glad to help out where ever I could to get this feature going
