Table 1. Details of racresetcfgThe following table provides details about the racresetcfg subcommand:
racresetcfg
Description Deletes your current iDRAC configuration and resets iDRAC to the factory default settings based on the options provided. If you run racresetcfg from a network client for example, a supported web browser, SSH, or Remote RACADM), use the default IP address which is 192.168.0.120. The racresetcfg subcommand does not reset the cfgDNSRacName object. To run this subcommand, you must have the Configure iDRAC privilege and Configure User privilege.
NOTE:Certain firmware processes must be stopped and restarted to complete the reset to defaults. iDRAC becomes unresponsive for about 30 seconds while this operation completes.
