Quick Reference Guide
racresetcfg
Description This subcommand is applicable for iDRAC only.
Deletes your current iDRAC configuration and resets iDRAC and serial configuration to
the default settings. After reset, the default name and password is root and calvin,
respectively, and the IP address is 192.168.0.120. Only for iDRAC Enterprise on Blade
servers, it is IP address plus the number of the slot the server inhabits in the chassis. If
you issue racresetcfg from a network client (for example, a supported Web browser,
Telnet/ssh, or remote RACADM), you must use the default IP address. The racresetcfg
subcommand does not reset the cfgDNSRacName object.
To use this subcommand, you must have Configure iDRAC permission.
NOTE: Certain iDRAC firmware processes need to be stopped and restarted for reset
to defaults to complete. iDRAC becomes unresponsive for about 30 seconds while this
operation completes
