Situation
When the number of clones is increased (2 or more), quick prep process fails due to time out.
Resolution
When a newly cloned machine comes up it does a kerberos login with a invalid password.
NMAS by default has 3 sec delay for an invalid login. Each login with wrong a password takes 3 sec adding to the delay and thus causing a time out.
NMAS by default has 3 sec delay for an invalid login. Each login with wrong a password takes 3 sec adding to the delay and thus causing a time out.
The login delay is configured in the 'Login Policy'.
In iManager go to the 'Modify Object' task -> Modify 'Login Policy' object (under security container) -> set "Delay after failed login attempts" to 0
restart ndsd on the server after making the changes.
e.g. rcndsd restart
If DSfW server does not hold a replica of root the backlinker process has to be triggered on the DSfW server followed by the restart of ndsd.
To trigger the backlink process use ndstrace. Type
ndstrace
set ndstrace = +blnk
set ndstrace = *b
set ndstrace = +blnk
set ndstrace = *b
Now the changes to the Login Delay should take effect.
