Remote iDRAC hard reset
This feature allows the administrator to perform a remote iDRAC reset operation without having to shut down the server.
Using iDRAC, you can monitor the supported servers for critical system hardware, rmware, or software issues. Sometimes, the iDRAC may
become unresponsive due to various reasons. During such scenarios, you may have to turn o the server by unplugging it from the socket,
after which the iDRAC will be reset.
Using the Remote iDRAC hard reset feature, whenever iDRAC becomes unresponsive, you can perform a remote iDRAC reset operation
without the need to power o (iDRAC hard reset) the server. By default, the remote iDRAC hard reset feature is enabled.
This feature is available for servers discovered through iSM using WMI. For more information about this feature, see the iDRAC Service
Module Installation Guide and the section Remote iDRAC Hard Reset in the iDRAC 8/7 v2.30.30.30 User’s Guide at support.dell.com.
