      Just verifying that this log entry tells us that a human hit the power button on the server? This is a log entry in the iDrac.

        I would guess human + power button. But it could be human + idrac power button.

          That's what we thought, too. Happy to have more eyes on it. We BELIEVE a human walked over and hit the power button mistaking a request for reboot "approval" with a request for reboot. We were about to soft reboot from the hypervisor when it power cycled on us.

            I think there would be a log entry in the idrac if it was initiated from there, so almost certainly a meatware issue.

              I don't think so. Warm reset is a reset, like the reset button or alt+ctrl+del.

              If you press the power button you get a shutdown / power down but not reset, because after power off it will not start again.

              If you have another Dell server available maybe you can verify.

                Power button press = Graceful Shutdown
                Power button press and hold = Power Off
