The only way to recover the local video in this case is by removing the AC power cord from the server, draining the server flee power and reconnecting the AC power cord; this will bring back the local video on the server monitor. Also, the DRAC 5 configuration is changed to local video ON (default). The DRAC 5 needs to be reconfigured if the local video needs to be turned OFF again.
