   A data center administrator is troubleshooting a compute sled in an MX7000 chassis where the iDRAC web interface is unresponsive, but the host OS is still running and network connectivity to the chassis management controller (CMC) is intact. The administrator needs to restore iDRAC management access with minimal disruption to the running workload. Which action should be taken first?

   • AUse the CMC to issue a remote iDRAC reset command for the specific sled.
   • BPower cycle the compute sled from the CMC to force a full iDRAC reboot.
   • CRun 'racadm racreset' from the host operating system's command line.
   • DPhysically remove and reinsert the sled from the chassis to reset the iDRAC.

   An organization is decommissioning a compute sled from an MX7000 chassis and will repurpose it for a different department. The administrator needs to ensure that no previous iDRAC configuration, user accounts, or certificates remain on the sled before handing it over. Which action should be performed?

   • ARemove the sled from the chassis and power it on standalone.
   • BRun 'racadm racreset' from a management station.
   • CExecute an iDRAC factory reset to restore default settings.
   • DPerform a standard iDRAC reset using the CMC.

   An administrator notices that a compute sled's iDRAC is not appearing in the CMC's inventory, even though the sled is powered on and the host OS is running. The administrator needs to restore CMC visibility of the iDRAC. What is the most likely cause and the appropriate first step?

   • AThe iDRAC is in a failed state; perform a factory reset to restore it.
   • BThe iDRAC's management network is misconfigured; reconfigure the iDRAC IP address.
   • CThe CMC's firmware is outdated; update the CMC firmware first.
   • DThe iDRAC is not responding to the CMC's discovery protocol; power-cycle the sled to reinitialize the connection.

   An administrator is planning to reset the iDRAC on a compute sled in an MX7000 chassis to resolve a persistent authentication lockout. The sled is currently running a production database workload. Which consideration is most important before performing the reset?

   • AThe reset will restore the iDRAC to factory defaults, erasing all network and user settings.
   • BThe reset will power off the compute sled, so the database must be shut down first.
   • CThe reset will temporarily disconnect the sled from the CMC, but the host network traffic will be unaffected.
   • DThe reset will require re-importing the SSL certificate from the CMC afterward.
