Occasionally I get a failure to apply updates or a failed to reboot and the reason given in the event summary is :

Minion is down or could not be contacted.

Retrying the command immediately afterwards almost invariably results in success - which leads me to believe that the minion is not down and this is a time-out issue and that the minion maybe takes a while to "wake up " if it has been inactive for a time

It's annoying.

Do others have this issue - and is there a setting which will allow the Uyuni server to grant more time to the minion to respond?

Many thanks
