Managed Server Does Not Reboot Completely After Red Hat OS Is Provisioned on a Sun Blade X8400 Server Through Expansion Module (6437482)

The managed server fails to reboot completely after Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.0AS Update 3, 64–bit operating system is provisioned on an Sun Blade X8400 server through the expansion module. The blade might fail to boot if Kudzu is enabled. The operation stops with the message Checking for new hardware.

To disable Kudzu on a Sun Blade X8400 Server through a Linux OS Profile, perform the following steps:

1. Log in to the management server as root.

2. Create a shell script file containing the following lines.

   #!/bin/sh
   chkconfig kudzu off

3. Save the file in a known location, for example, /scripts/kudzu.sh.

4. Add the script to the post section of the OS profile from the N1 System Manager command line using the add osprofile command.

   For example, if your Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 Update 3 OS profile is named rhel4u3, you would then type:

   N1-ok> add osprofile rhel4u3 script /scripts/kudzu.sh type=post

   Ensure that you add the script to the correct OS profile.

5. Redeploy the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 Update 3 to the Sun Blade X8400 Server using the updated profile.
