When deploying an OS on a large number of managed servers, the OS deployments might fail due to the OS deployment jobs exceeding the job or job step timeout value.

Description:

Workaround: Increase the job timeout value using n1smconfig or try to reduce the reasons for exceeding the existing timeout value, for example, network latency problems. Also, some of the OS deployments might have succeeded. You can verify whether a server installed properly by viewing the OS Usage column in the All Servers page or by using the Serial Console to log in to the server.
