Dell iDRAC Service Module 5.0.1.0 User’s Guide
Remote iDRAC hard reset
iDRAC may become unresponsive for various reasons. iSM can fully reset an unresponsive iDRAC8 or iDRAC9 controller by temporarily removing power to the iDRAC controller without affecting operating system production. This feature can only be disabled from the iSM page in iDRAC using the iDRAC interfaces.
To reset iDRAC, run the following Windows PowerShell or Linux shell command:
./Invoke-iDRACHardReset
NOTE The shell command is supported only on VMware ESXi 7.x operating systems.
To reset the iDRAC on VMware ESXi 8.x operating systems, run the following command:
esxcli dell ism idrachardreset -f
On ESXi 7.x operating systems, you can perform the iDRAC reset remotely using the following WinRM remote command:
winrm i iDRACHardReset http://schemas.dell.com/wbem/wscim/1/cimschema/2/root/cimv2/dcim/DCIM_iSMService?__cimnamespace=root/cimv2/dcim+InstanceID=iSMExportedFunctions -u:"root-username" -p:"password" -r:https://"Host-IP":443/wsman -a:basic -encoding:utf-8 -skipCNCheck -skipCACheck -skipRevocationcheck
On ESXi 8.x operating systems, you can perform the iDRAC reset remotely using the following remote esxcli command:
esxcli --server <HostIPAddress> --username <user> --password <password> --thumbprint <thumbprint>dell ism idrachardreset -f
The remote esxcli interfaces for Linux and Microsoft Windows operating systems are available at VMware ESX Command Line Interface. For more information about creating the thumbprint, see https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/2108416.
NOTE The remote iDRAC hard reset feature supports iDRAC8 on PowerEdge yx4 x or later servers and if logged into the operating system as an administrator.
