Yes, you get that too. Full hardware power down. Wait as long as
you want, then power the machine up. It's not the same as a remote
reboot where you HOPE the server comes up far enough to get
a console session.

Plus you don't need anything mote than an Ethernet connection to
your existing infrastructure to make it all work.

If you are paranoid and/or have a lot of servers, you can
put all the DRAC ports on a separate subnet and their own
VPN...
