Host Customization Data Is Missing
Deploying a stateless host results with a failure in exiting maintenance mode.
Problem
When you are in the process of deploying a stateless host, the host fails in exiting maintenance mode.
Cause
In an environment where the following takes place for a host profile:
n
The host profile is attached to a stateless host.
n
The host profile has host-specific settings.
When the stateless host is rebooting, applying the host profile fails because the host does not exit from a
maintenance mode.
Solution
n
Provide a host customization as described in Edit Host Customizations.
n
Remediate the host profile to the host again.
n
Reboot the host, if needed.
n
Refer to the host profiles command-line utility in Host Profiles CLI for customizing stateless hosts.
