Re: deployment freeze with hp Proliant BL680c G5

 

Hi all,

How to apply this patch:

1. Download the whole updated file from
https://review.openstack.org/cat/83032%2C4%2Cdeployment/puppet/cobbler/templates/scripts/pmanager.py%5E0

2. Overwrite (with backup) the following 2 files on master node - both are
identical.

/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/cobbler/pmanager.py
/etc/puppet/modules/cobbler/templates/scripts/pmanager.py

3 Remove all *.pyc and *.pyo files in
/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/cobbler/

4. Run
`cobbler sync`

5. It is recommended to remove affected nodes from environment and add
back, or simply re-create environment from scratch.

Sometimes Cobbler stops booting nodes after sync operation. Rebooting
master node should resolve this issue.
