Reboot Limits for Host UnlockΒΆ

During a host unlock, the host is rebooted. If the host fails to boot, StarlingX waits for a predetermined interval and then attempts to reboot the host again. For certain types of failure, the number of reboot attempts is limited to prevent the host from being rebooted indefinitely.

The following types of failure use reboot limitations. The failures are reported on the Host Inventory page of the Horizon Web interface, in the Status field for the host.
