Without some sort of Remote Access he won't be able to power the VM host back on. Even if he had iDRAC, it wouldn't matter since his firewall will be down also, he's have no way to reach the iDRAC.
Depends. In most datacenters they will have remote hands to do this or remote start out of band equipment that is another layer of OOB beyond what IPMI (ILO, DRAC, etc.) does so that even if your entire network is down you can still power on.
We have Dialup OOB Access that allows us to power cycle or access DRACs, Routers and switches.
