The blue-screen capture feature captures the video display contents before the IMM
restarts the server when the IMM detects an operating-system hang condition. A
system administrator can use the blue-screen capture to assist in determining the
cause of the hang condition.
Using the embedded hypervisor
The VMware ESXi embedded hypervisor software might be available on the IBM
USB flash device with embedded hypervisor. The USB flash device can be installed
in either of the I/O board internal USB ports (see the following illustration).
Hypervisor is virtualization software that enables multiple operating systems to
run on a host system at the same time. The USB flash device is required to activate
the hypervisor functions.
Note: When you add an optional memory expansion module to your server
configuration and you plan to use the optional USB flash device with VMware
ESXi embedded hypervisor software, see the documentation that comes with the
USB flash device and the operating system installation instructions for installing
VMware ESXi (or ESX, depending on your environment) on your server at
http://www.ibm.com/systems/support/. The documentation provides additional
installation and configuration information that you must follow before you use the
memory expansion module.
