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 Administrator.

  • Redhat 6.x cannot be deployed on rack-based server with static IP
    An issue can occur when attempting to deploy Redhat 6.x to a managed server if that server is connected to a top-of-rack (TOR) switch. If the TOR switch has spanning tree protocol enabled and has forward by default disabled, the Redhat image might not be downloaded to the server.
  • 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.
