“Hardware faults are indicated by non-maskable interrupts (NMIs). To ensure proper handling of NMIs, ESX/ESXi 4.1 instances on HP systems require the HP NMI driver. The NMI driver ensures that NMIs are properly detected and logged. Without this driver, HP systems with ESX/ESXi ignore NMIs by default.”
