Modify the Reboot Prompt Timeout Settings

If you have specified a machine mapping file in the migration job for renaming the computers, the migration process renames the computer during migration. After the computer is renamed, a reboot of the computer is requested and a prompt waits for user response at the computer. By default, the prompt times out after 30 minutes and restarts the computer. This causes a delay in the migration job. You can modify the reboot prompt timeout settings to reduce the timeout and help ensure the reboot occurs almost immediately.

To modify the reboot prompt timeout settings

1. In DSM Explorer, navigate to the configuration policy DSM, Software Delivery, Agent, Reboot: Prompt timeout.
2. Double-click the setting and change the value to a required value. For example, specify 120 seconds to reboot the computer after 2 minutes.

   The change impacts all the software jobs that require reboot. After the OS migrations, you can reset this value to the original value, if necessary.
