HP iLO2 NMI Watchdog Driver
|
||||
NMI sourcing for iLO2 based ProLiant Servers
|
||||
Documentation and Driver by
|
||||
Thomas Mingarelli <thomas.mingarelli@hp.com>
|
||||
|
||||
The HP iLO2 NMI Watchdog driver is a kernel module that provides basic
|
||||
watchdog functionality and the added benefit of NMI sourcing. Both the
|
||||
watchdog functionality and the NMI sourcing capability need to be enabled
|
||||
by the user. Remember that the two modes are not dependant on one another.
|
||||
A user can have the NMI sourcing without the watchdog timer and vice-versa.
|
||||
|
||||
Watchdog functionality is enabled like any other common watchdog driver. That
|
||||
is, an application needs to be started that kicks off the watchdog timer. A
|
||||
basic application exists in the Documentation/watchdog/src directory called
|
||||
watchdog-test.c. Simply compile the C file and kick it off. If the system
|
||||
gets into a bad state and hangs, the HP ProLiant iLO 2 timer register will
|
||||
not be updated in a timely fashion and a hardware system reset (also known as
|
||||
an Automatic Server Recovery (ASR)) event will occur.
|
||||
|
||||
The hpwdt driver also has three (3) module parameters. They are the following:
|
||||
|
||||
soft_margin - allows the user to set the watchdog timer value
|
||||
allow_kdump - allows the user to save off a kernel dump image after an NMI
|
||||
nowayout - basic watchdog parameter that does not allow the timer to
|
||||
be restarted or an impending ASR to be escaped.
|
||||
|
||||
NOTE: More information about watchdog drivers in general, including the ioctl
|
||||
interface to /dev/watchdog can be found in
|
||||
Documentation/watchdog/watchdog-api.txt and Documentation/IPMI.txt.
|
||||
|
||||
The NMI sourcing capability is disabled when the driver discovers that the
|
||||
nmi_watchdog is turned on (nmi_watchdog = 1). This is due to the inability to
|
||||
distinguish between "NMI Watchdog Ticks" and "HW generated NMI events" in the
|
||||
Linux kernel. What this means is that the hpwdt nmi handler code is called
|
||||
each time the NMI signal fires off. This could amount to several thousands of
|
||||
NMIs in a matter of seconds. If a user sees the Linux kernel's "dazed and
|
||||
confused" message in the logs or if the system gets into a hung state, then
|
||||
the user should reboot with nmi_watchdog=0.
|
||||
|
||||
1. If the kernel has not been booted with nmi_watchdog turned off then
|
||||
edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and place the nmi_watchdog=0 at the end of the
|
||||
currently booting kernel line.
|
||||
2. reboot the sever
|
||||
|
||||
Now, the hpwdt can successfully receive and source the NMI and provide a log
|
||||
message that details the reason for the NMI (as determined by the HP BIOS).
|
||||
|
||||
Below is a list of NMIs the HP BIOS understands along with the associated
|
||||
code (reason):
|
||||
|
||||
No source found 00h

||||

||||
