Generate a Nonmaskable Interrupt
Before You Begin
-
Obtain permission from Oracle Services prior to performing this procedure.
-
To generate an NMI from the Oracle ILOM interfaces, you need the Reset and Host Control (r) role enabled.
-
The setting for generating a nonmaskable interrupt from Oracle ILOM might not be supported on all Oracle servers.
Caution:
Depending on the host OS configuration, generating a nonmaskable interrupt (NMI) might cause the OS to crash, stop responding, or wait for external debugger input.- To
generate a processor interrupt, do one of the following:
-
From the Oracle ILOM web interface:
-
Click Host Management > Diagnostics.
The Diagnostics page appears.
-
Click the Generate NMI button.
An NMI is sent to the host.
-
-
From the Oracle ILOM CLI, type:
set /HOST/diag generate_host_nmi=true
For example:
-> set generate_host_nmi=true set ???generate_host_nmi' to ???true'
An NMI is sent to the host.
