Rebooting CIMC
On rare occasions, such as an issue with the current running firmware, troubleshooting a server may require
you to reboot the CIMC. This procedure is not part of the normal maintenance of a server. After you reboot
the CIMC, you are logged off and the CIMC will be unavailable for a few minutes.
If you reboot the CIMC while the server is performing power-on self test (POST) or is operating in the
Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) shell, the server will be powered down until the CIMC reboot is
complete.
Note
Before You Begin
You must log in as a user with admin privileges to reboot the CIMC.
Procedure
Step 1
In the Navigation pane, click the Admin tab.
Step 2
On the Admin tab, click Utilities.
Step 3
In the Actions area of the Utilities pane, click Reboot CIMC.
Step 4
Click OK.
Recovering from a Corrupted BIOS

procedure.
