CPU usage reaches 100% during installation or upgrade of a Bare Metal Server

Problem description

When installing or upgrading Tivoli Provisioning Manager for OS Deployment on an BigFix relay, the CPU on that system reaches 100% usage for several minutes. This may downgrade system performance considerably and tasks running on the system might become unresponsive.

Solution/workaround

This problem does not affect the outcome of the installation itself. To minimize the impact on system performance, you can plan the installation or upgrade of your Bare Metal Server in a timeframe during which the relay is not processing other time-critical activities.
