Is it possible to cold reset the BMC from within the web browser IPMI of an X9DRW-3F motherboard, or do you need to use IPMIView?
It is possible, you have to preserve all the settings then hit Restore Factory Defaults. This will cold reset the BMC but preserve the settings.
Here are the steps:
Log into the IPMI through the web browser.
Then go to Maintenance > BMC Restore Factory Defaults.
Then Enter Preserve Configuration and check all the boxes to preserve all the settings. Hit the Save button to save it.
Then go back into the Maintenance > BMC Restore Factory Defaults settings again, this time you will see the configurations that will be saved.
Click on Restore Factory Defaults button, this will then reset the BMC, but save all your configurations.
