How to manually crash ESXi for PSOD

I am trying to extract logs (Core Dump) and found that my Core dump is empty.

So how to get logs in core dump folder and also if my host crash then only in that case it will be created. so i have to wait till my ESXi host crash or other-way around.

So you have command for it.

First login into ESXi host via Putty.

# vsish -e set /reliability/crashMe/Panic 1

After that, your putty session will be terminated and Host will be showing disconnected if it is part of vCenter server.

After that again use putty to connect and go to below location and you will get core dump of your ESXi host.

# cd /var/core
