Dell DRAC console not working

Racadm can be used to reset a Dell DRAC card when you cannot get a virtual console.  The RACADM command can be found on the system management CD which came with the Dell systems.

Sometimes for some unknown reason connection to the console via the java interface does not work.  The DRAC needs resetting with racadm.
