Generating an NMI
The Generate NMI to System feature enables you to stop the operating system for debugging.
CAUTION:
Generating an NMI as a diagnostic and debugging tool is used primarily when the
operating system is no longer available. NMI is not used during normal operation of the
server. Generating an NMI does not gracefully shut down the operating system, but causes
the operating system to crash, resulting in lost service and data. Use the Generate NMI to
System button only in extreme cases in which the OS is not functioning correctly and an
experienced support organization has recommended an NMI.
Prerequisites
Virtual Power and Reset privilege
Procedure
1. Click Information in the navigation tree, and then click the Diagnostics tab.
2. Click Generate NMI to System.
3. When iLO warns you that generating an NMI to the system might cause data loss, click OK
to confirm, or click Cancel.
If you clicked OK, iLO confirms that the NMI was sent.
