VxRail iDRAC cold reset


If you're experiencing weird issues with your iDRAC(i.e. reporting false hardware failure information) you might want to give it a reboot. From VxRail, SSH into the ESX host and do the following.

      cd /opt/vxrail/tools/
      ipmitools mc reset

The iDRAC will get disconnected and will reboot. This generally takes 3-4 mins. The server and its services will remain running.
