Red Hat and SUSE Linux deployment issues
Use this information to troubleshoot issues that you might encounter when you attempt to deploy Red Hat and SUSE Linux operating systems to managed servers from Lenovo XClarity Orchestrator.
OS deployment fails due to missing drivers
When deploying Red Hat® Enterprise Linux (RHEL) Server or SUSE® Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) to a server, you might see an error message that stops the deployment and the deployment job eventually times out.
This issue can occur when the operating-system image does not contain drivers to support all adapters that are installed in the managed server.
Out-of-box drivers are not proloaded in XClarity Orchestrator for certain Mellanox IB adapters. Therefore, deploying RHEL or SLES to a server with these Mellanox adapters is not supported. For more information about Mellanox adapter limitations, see the Lenovo XClarity Support for Mellanox adapters webpage.
