When you have problem with DELL Lifecycle Controller jobs you can delete all jobs by single iDRAC command. This command
racadm -r ip address -u user name -p password jobqueue delete -i JID_CLEARALL_FORCE
deletes all of the jobs plus the orphaned pending and restarts the data manager service on the iDRAC. It will take about 90-120 secs before the iDRAC is able to process another job.
Occasionally the iDRAC may need to be reset after issuing the above command due to other issues outside the job queue processing. In such case you can issue commands in the following order:
racadm -r ip address -u user name -p password jobqueue delete -i JID_CLEARALL_FORCE
deletes all of the jobs plus the orphaned pending and restarts the data manager service on the iDRAC. It will take about 90-120 secs before the iDRAC is able to process another job.

Thank you! This command allowed us to get past the "ERROR: RAC961: A pending or committed system configuration change exists.
Wait until the configuration changes are applied before starting
another import operation. Use the "racadm jobqueue view" command to
check the status of the current import operation." which was showing even after all jobs were cleared from the job queue.

Same here. Thanks!
Many thanks,
That really comes in handy when troubleshooting DELL servers.
Thanks as well. Even with a call to dell tech support we couldn't get past the RAC961 error.
had same issue on iDrac7
following forced removal of a stale queued job / coldboot, had to use DRAC console/RESET DRAC function to be able to add another virtual disk
Thanks much for your help.
