Reset the permissions on a DRAC
Hello all,
I have set the cfgUserAdminPrivilege of the root-user on my DRAC (in a PowerEdge 1950) to "0x00000001" by accident and find no way to reset that (there are tons of howtos on the net to reset the user-password, but this is not my problem). I have access to the local OS (debian) where racadm is installed and I can also connect to the DRAC by SSH and run commands there. Is there any trick to do that?
Sincerely,
DaB.

DaB,
To reset the drac to default you will use the racadm racreset command. After that you will have to locally reconfigure it.
Let me know how it goes.

[: 23: racreset: unexpected operator
ERROR: A firmware update is currently in progress. Unable to reset the
RAC at this time.
Is there a way to tell the DRAC that no firmware-update is in progress?
Sincerely,

there is a way, but you will lose all the settings in the idrac, it will reset back to factory defaults. If you are ok with this, please run this command: racadm racresetcfg. If this still doesnt work, you will have to drain the flea power.
