I had a server that was hung so had to power cycle it. Looking in the messages file, these are the last three lines it has prior to the reboot. Anyone know what this means? Dell server with an external array, RHEL.
Jun 3 05:18:38 ServerName kernel: Uhhuh. NMI received for unknown reason 21 on CPU 0.
Jun 3 05:18:38 ServerName kernel: Dazed and confused, but trying to continue
Jun 3 05:18:38 ServerName kernel: Do you have a strange power saving mode enabled?
Make sure to have your firmware and drivers up to date. Another thing that I have noticed is some erratic behavior with cstates turned on in the bios on Dell servers.
Firmware and drivers are up to date as far as I know. Not sure about the cstate settings though. Any way to check them when the system is already powered up?
I don't think you can check them while the system is online as they are BIOS settings. I would just confirm that all your firmware is where it should be and on your next reboot check your cstates.
