Dell EMC iDRAC Service Module 3.4 User’s Guide

Remote iDRAC hard reset

iDRAC may become unresponsive due to 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 iDRAC Service Module page in iDRAC using any of the iDRAC interfaces.

To reset iDRAC, use the following Windows PowerShell or Linux shell command:

./Invoke-iDRACHardReset
  • NOTE: This feature only works with iDRAC8 on the 13 th generation PowerEdge servers or later and if logged into the operating system as an administrator.
