Go to SolutionDell R720 iDRAC reset
Hi,
I encounter a small problem with a customer.
We have some Dell PowerEdge R710 and R720 servers used for ESXi Hypervisor, we use the iDRAC 7 for manage and monitor some parts of the server.
On three of them, we cannot access the iDRAC web interface, and i search a trick to reset the iDRAC.
We can to ping or access by SSH to the iDRAC ip address, but i cannot find the right SM-CLP command to reset only the iDRAC.
These servers is in production and we cannot shutdown them.
Thanks you for your return.
Best regards and sorry for my swiss english ;)

Here is a helpful Linux repository page for installing OMSA 6.4. http://linux.dell.com/repo/hardware/latest/
Please review the wiki page ( http://linux.dell.com/wiki/index.php/Repository/OMSAfor additional info.
Alternatively you may also hold the i button on the LCD for 16 seconds until the iDRAC does a soft reset. This will not affect the server and only reboots the the iDRAC. It will take several minutes for the iDRAC to initialize before allowing you to reconnect.

What firmware version is the idrac7? There are bad FW versions that will cause your initial issue again.
