Problem? Building the DYI lab space is very, very slow.

My lab tech reports this:

The problem I encounter is that both the PXE build and then the rht-pushcourse all steps are taking considerably longer than previous efforts (for example, the RHEL 7 and RHEL 8 DIY labs).

I executed the rht-pushcourse all step (20 units) at 1:37pm and only 4 units had completed the process when I left at 5:00pm. In prior executions (again, RHEL 7 and RHEL of this, it has taken about 2 hours for all 20 workstations to have completed the course content build step.

Has anyone else experienced this issue? Does anyone have a suggestion as to what may be happen / how to speed this up?

This problem has been repaired (it wasn't anything to do with Red Hat):

There was a bad cable in the wall, causing the network connection to operate at 100mbit/sec. instead of 1Gbit/sec. --  the speed it should.

It was repaired, and now everything is working great!

Glad to hear this is resolved!
