Hello,
For iDRAC issues, I generally recommend shitting the server off, unplugging it from power, then holding the power button down for 10 seconds to drain power from the system. I've seen this help with a number of iDRAC issues. You might also consider performing an NVRAM clear using the NVRAM_CLR jumper on the motherboard. This does reset the BIOS to factory default values, though. If there are any changes you've made, you would need to reapply them after.
To perform an NVRAM clear, you would follow the same process as the power drain, but also remove the top cover, then move the jumper to cover the uncovered side pin and common. Once the jumper is moved, you would just need to perform a power cycle. The server can then be shut off and the jumper returned to it's initial position.
