Causes

The Dell iDRAC generated a RAC trap alert. Probable causes and corresponding resolutions for this condition are:

Cause	Resolutions
RAC Software Initialization Error.	Contact Dell Tech Support
iDRAC to CMC communication link is not functioning for agent free monitoring of chassis PCIe slots.	Do the following: 1) Check the Lifecycle Log for the subsequent RAC0562 communications restored message that will indicate the link was re-established automatically. 2) If there is no subsequent RAC0562 message in the Lifecycle Log, restart the iDRAC. The iDRAC can be restarted by using the RACADM command line utility and entering "racadm racreset". 3) After the iDRAC has restarted, if the communications link is still not functioning, restart the CMC and check the Lifecycle Log for this link error after the CMC has restarted. 4) If the issue persists, contact your service provider.
iDRAC-CMC communication restored for agent free monitoring of chassis PCIe slots.	No response action is required.
