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
You must have the Virtual Power and Reset privilege to perform this procedure.
Generating an NMI
1. Navigate to the Information→Diagnostics page.
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.
