Soft iDRAC Reset
You can find the iDRAC Reset button on the Help and Support tab. Resetting iDRAC performs a normal iDRAC reboot. The
iDRAC reboot does not reboot the host. After you perform a reset, it takes up to 2 minutes to return to a usable state.
Only use this reset in cases where the iDRAC is not responsive in the OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter.
NOTE: Dell recommends that you place the host in maintenance mode before resetting iDRAC. You can only apply
this reset action on a host that is part of a connection profile that has been inventoried at least once. This reset
action may not return the iDRAC to a usable state. In this case, a hard reset is required. Refer to your iDRAC
documentation to learn more about a hard reset.
While iDRAC is rebooting, you may see:
• Some delay of communication error while the OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenterobtains its health status.
• All open sessions with iDRAC close.
• The DHCP address for iDRAC may change.
