NMI Function

By setting the OS in advance, this server allows you to perform a memory dump via NMI by using the virtual NMI
function of iLO.
Memory dumps can be used to check for errors in the OS, drivers, and applications and are helpful in finding the
cause of a system stall.
When a system stall occurs, you can perform a memory dump via NMI and save the memory dump even if the
only option is a forced shutdown of the system.
Execution example using the iLO Virtual NMI function:
1. Select [Information] from the left side menu of iLO5.
2. Select [Diagnostics] from the menu in the upper right.
3. Scroll down to the bottom of the information screen in the lower right, and open [Show System Diagnostics].
4. Press the [Generate NMI] button.
5. When the confirmation screen appears, click the [Yes, Proceed] button.
For details about how to configure memory dump settings on the OS, refer to the installation guide of the OS.
