I have an automated task that ensures that the iDRACs in my environment have some general setting managed and I noticed that there are not a small number of servers in the environment that have pending bios updates and require a reboot before any racadm tasks related to the idrac config will be updated. I do not have the luxury of rebooting the servers outside of a very specific window which is a while off. I am wondering if there is a way to force the changes without rebooting and without clearing the jobqueue something like
racadm -r n.n.n.n -u root -p calvin get -t xml -f config.xml -l n.n.n.n:/nfs/share/ --force
What all attribute did you want to change on the server? Is it only iDRAC? Can you also share server model and current iDRAC FW version installed on the server
You can try
Running individual command if only iDRAC settings need to be configured
You can create config.xml file with only iDRAC Settings and try. racadm get command does not need reboot of the server
Can you try deleting BIOS update job from job queue and see whether you able to configure the server

Hi,
I don’t see anything that allows you to force it. https://dell.to/3HNi9e7
