    I'm building a storage server using a supermicro X9SRI-F motherboard,
    and I'm trying to set it up to panic on an NMI so in the (hopefully
    unlikely) case the server goes out to lunch at some point, I will be
    able to generate a crash dump and some diagnostics. Right now the box is
    running a test install of omnios bloody.

    The board has IPMI capability, and I'm running 'ipmitool -I lanplus -H
    host chassis power diag', which should generate an NMI.

    However, instead of a log message indicating an NMI has been received (I
    don't have the /etc/system setting in yet to actually panic), the box
    wedges hard and becomes completely unresponsive.

    The board also has an NMI header, although the chassis I have it in does
    not have a button to connect to it. I have not yet tried generating the
    NMI by shorting the jumper as opposed to via IPMI, so I'm not sure if
    that will do something differently.

    I've never actually tried this under OpenSolaris/illumos, but am
    assuming it should work more or less the same as under Solaris 10? Has
    anybody tested NMI functionality with a recent illumos and could give me
    at least a starting point that it should be working :)?

    Thanks much…
