Symptoms
The storage only node is stuck on the Centos screen and appears to be stopped.
Cause
In the /etc/rc.d/rc.local file, the line bash /root/post_install.sh is left, causing a no limit timed job at startup and never lets the user log in.
NOTE: If you press the escape key, the Centos splash page will disappear and show the last few lines of the startup log. From there, you see it is still running the rc.local script.
Resolution
SSH should still be working. Putty into the storage only node and remove the post_install.sh script from the rc.local file.
You can place the SO node in maintenance mode in the presentation server and then reboot it to get a clean boot.
