iDRAC USB import odd behavior with NoReboot option
Hi all,
I think I have an odd behavior with the iDRAC USB system configuration import.
I try to reset the password of an iDRAC user without restarting the system. For that I use the NoReboot option in the control.xml.
The import works as well, but the server always wants a reboot to apply the Server Configuration Profile.
But if I exchange the NoReboot option on the USB stick with Graceful the import works without reboot.
For me it looks like NoReboot doesn't check if the import is possible without reboot, but simply always requires a reboot.
Am I overlooking something, is this intentional or is this a bug?
Thanks,
Tobias

TobsA,
It sounds like it is defaulting to graceful. You would need to include the -b flag along with the command in order to push the noreboot, as seen on page 67 here.
• -b — . Specifies the type of shutdown for the system after a file import operation completes. The parameters are Graceful, Forced, and NoReboot for graceful shutdown, forced shutdown, and no reboot respectively. If -b is not specified, graceful shutdown is taken as the default except as noted above for files containing new values.
Would you clarify if you have tried that?
Let me know.

Hi Chris,
we are using the USB import not the racadm command.(Manual Page 280).
In both cases we select as ShutdownType either NoReboot or Graceful, so we don't use a default value.
