What Do I Do If an ECS Starts Slowly?

Symptom

If an ECS starts slowly, you can change the default timeout duration to speed up the startup.

Solution

1. Log in to the ECS.
2. Run the following command to switch to user root:

   sudo su

3. Run the following command to query the version of the GRUB file:

   rpm -qa | grep grub

4. Set timeout in the GRUB file to 0.
   • If the GRUB file version is earlier than 2:

     Open /boot/grub/grub.cfg or /boot/grub/menu.lst and set timeout to 0.

   • If the GRUB file version is 2:

     Open /boot/grub2/grub.cfg and set the value of timeout to 0.
