Corrective actions

Cause/Symptom

Turn off the dump flag in the /etc/fstab file on the
target servers to capture fewer partitions.

For the corrective action, see

Section 25.20 (page 237)

The target server has lost association with its management
processor.

Modify the configuration of the target server so that it finds
only one root partition.

More than one root partition was found when trying to
capture the image.

None, the image cannot be captured.

The target managed system OS uses an unsupported file
system type.

Verify that the storage device is working properly on the
target server.

The target managed system has suffered a hardware failure
or a storage device is missing.

Ensure that your server's BIOS settings (for example, Boot
Controller Order) that are correct.

Issues with servers that have a Fibre Channel card, use
SAN storage, or both.

See the entry for Bare metal discovery returns "There are
no MAC addresses registered for this system." in

“Troubleshooting discovery problems” (page 213)

Capture operation returns "There are no MAC addresses
registered for this system."

25.15.4 Deploying Linux images

Corrective actions

Cause/Symptom

Verify that the platform the image was captured from
matches the platform it is deployed to.

The target server is a different type of hardware than the
image was captured from.

Insight Control for Linux only supports like to like hardware
deployment.

You might be able to log into the system console and
complete configuring the system manually.

The captured OS is not fully supported.

Verify that the partitions created in the Partition Wizard
are not larger than the hardware supports.

The disk partitioning scheme is not appropriate to the
hardware on the target server.

Review the output of the postinstallation script and verify
that it does not report a failure or return anything other
than a 0 exit code.

The postinstallation script returned an exit code indicating
failure.

Troubleshoot the network connectivity between the CMS
and the host.

The CMS is unable to route to the target managed system
on the network.

The captured target managed system has an unusual
configuration and might not be able to be successfully
captured.

The image metadata may not have been captured correctly.

For the corrective action, see

Section 25.20 (page 237)

The target server has lost association with its management
processor.

Ensure that your server's BIOS settings (for example, Boot
Controller Order) that are correct.

Issues with servers that have a Fibre Channel card, use
SAN storage, or both.

See “OS Installations fail, cannot connect to managed
system” in

Section 25.15.1

.

OS Installations fail, cannot connect to managed system

Deployments hang

Capture the multi-partition image, deploy it to a single
partition, capture that image, and then redeploy the image
using the number of required partitions.

Deployment might fail from one multiple partition scheme
to another multiple partition scheme

Deploying an image with a multiple partition scheme to
another might fail. When a disk has some partitions
already on it, and during an image deployment you specify
a different number of partitions (either more or fewer ) in
