Bug fixes

  • Before this update, the SSH connection between the WMCO and a Windows node would terminate when the WMCO rebooted the node after a configuration update. As a consequence, the WMCO incorrectly treated the SSH disconnection as a reboot failure, preventing the Windows node from completing required reboots. With this release, the reboot validation process is modified to ignore SSH termination errors and instead verify a successful reboot by using explicit node reachability checks and the SSH reconnection. As a result, Windows nodes successfully reboot upon node configuration changes. (OCPBUGS-98229)
