Page 6 highlights

Through Integrated Lights-Out ProLiant servers with Integrated Lights-Out (iLO) and Integrated Lights-Out 2 (iLO 2) can issue crash dump NMIs through a Web browser. The lights-out based virtual NMI button allows users to trigger an NMI without requiring physical access to the server chassis or knowing the precise location of the NMI control for the host. Access to this control is restricted to users with the iLO Virtual Power & Reset privilege. The same conditions and restrictions apply when using iLO. To generate an NMI using iLO: 1. Log into the iLO processor of the target using an account with the Virtual Power & Reset privilege. 2. Navigate to the Diagnostics or Server and iLO Diagnostics screen. 3. Click the Generate NMI to System button (see Figure 1). Figure 1. Generate NMI button screenshot 6
