Dear team,
I’ve a job queue set, sequence steps have been tested many times. The “Download and install updates plus reboot always” is part of this job and works fine, but not for a single host. The reboot command is never sent, and as the next step is a ‘Wait for host to go offline and come back online’, the job never go on.
The same host used this sequence previously without issue. Here below a trace, the host has no possible update but never start the reboot. I tested it on another server with no possible update, the reboot is well initiated.

The “ping reply” and “reboot message” columns never appear, confirming the command was not launched. Starting the ping manually and rebooting the servers is the workaround to go on with the sequence.
I’ve the last (April 2015) release of BP
Any tips I can try?

booster – It looks like this is a bug. The issue is that when ‘cached mode’ and/or ‘offline mode’ is enabled, the reboot does not occur when no updates are available for the target host. We’ll get this fixed for the next release. In the meantime, the workaround/solution is to change your job queue from:
Download and install updates + reboot always
Wait for host to go offline and come back onlineTO
Download and install updates
Reboot (force, if required)
Wait for host to go offline and come back online
