Dell PowerEdge – Configure AC Power Restored Option via iDRAC

dell-poweredgedrac

I'd like to configure the "AC Power Restored" option that's accessible in the BIOS, but I want to do it remotely, without having to shutdown the server and go into BIOS.

I've searched through the iDRAC 8 Enterprise interface and I can't find the option.

Am I seriously going to have to take the whole server down just to update this setting??

Although Twisty's solution is probably the easiest, it requires OMSA to be installed.

You actually can change this setting using the iDrac8, but from command line only.

To do so, SSH into the idrac (using puttyor whatever your ssh client is). Then, enter those commands:

racadm set BIOS.SysSecurity.AcPwrRcvry Last # Possible values: On/Off/Last
racadm jobqueue create BIOS.Setup.1-1
