Generating Non maskable Interrupts to the Host

	Command or Action
Step 2	Server /cimc # scope import-export
Step 3	Server /cimc/import-export #
	import-configprotocol ip-address
	path-and-filename

Purpose

Enters the import-export command mode.

Starts the import operation. The configuration file at the specified path and file name on the remote server at the specified IP address will be imported. The remote server can be one of the following:

•TFTP

•FTP

•SFTP

•SCP

•HTTP

To determine whether the import operation has completed successfully, use the show detail command. To abort the operation, type CTRL+C.

This example shows how to import a CIMC configuration:

Server# scope cimc

Server /cimc # scope import-export

Server /cimc/import-export # import-config tftp 192.0.2.34 /ucs/backups/cimc5.xml

Import config started. Please check the status using "show detail".

Server /cimc/import-export #

Generating Non maskable Interrupts to the Host

In some situations, the server might hang and not respond to traditional debug mechanisms. By generating a non maskable interrupt (NMI) to the host, you can create and send a crash dump file of the server and use it to debug the server.

Depending on the type of operating system associated with the server, this task might restart the OS.

Procedure

	Command or Action	Purpose
Step 1	Server # scope chassis	Enters chassis command mode.
Step 2	Server /chassis # generate-nmi	Generates the crash dump file for the server.
		To use this command, the server must be powered on,
		and you must be logged in as an administrator.

This example shows how to generate NMI signals to the host:

Server # scope chassis

Server /chassis # generate-nmi
