dellemc_idrac_reset needs precision about what it does (request) #136

Closed ThierryBesancon closed 1 year ago

ThierryBesancon commented 4 years ago

Hello

I run OMAM 2.0.14. i tried some dellemc_idrac_reset thinking it could do a factory reset of the configuration but it does not (i had DNS iDRAC Name set to a custom name and it is never reset to default value).

Please note that OMAM 1.0.1 says (OK that's long ago but it is confusing):

Resetting iDRAC to Factory Settings
Module: dellemc_idrac_reset

Synopsis

You can reset the iDRAC to its default factory settings using this module. 
This module deletes your current iDRAC configuration and resets it to the default settings.

https://www.dell.com/support/manuals/fr/fr/frbsdt1/openmanage-ansible-modules-v1.0.1/omam_1.0.1_users_guide/resetting-idrac-to-factory-settings?guid=guid-f7200fa9-025a-4407-ac27-b4ad12958aff&lang=en-us

Is it a bug? is it some behavior change? I think it deserves some precision in the documentation about what if actually does (full reset or soft reset just like pressing the i button on the face of the server).

Thanks in advance for your light.

@ThierryBesancon, I believe it is a documentation bug. dellemc_idrac_reset just performs a iDRAC reset.

Hello

OK but do read between the lines as well. If dellemc_idrac_reset is a soft reset (and it should be said so in the documentation), the next question is of course how to do a full factory reset of the iDRAC using OMAM? That's something i would need in my use case.

Thanks in advance for your help.

@ThierryBesancon The feature of factory reset is now added in the collection as part of the role idrac_reset more details here

Closing this issue.
