Reset iDRAC from OS

Sometimes, e.g. after network related changes, it may be necessary to reset the iDRAC. If the iDRAC is no longer available, or if it is not responding, then it would be very difficult to reset the iDRAC at this point.

As an alternative, one can reset the iDRAC from the OS using the following command:

# racadm racreset
